Notukeu Creek begins at an elevation of almost above sea level in the
Rural Municipality of Bone Creek No. 108 at Notukeu Lake about north-east of the town of
Shaunavon. It flows out of the south-east corner of the lake where it is met by Grassy Creek. From that confluence, the river heads east where it is followed closely by the
Great Western Railway (formerly a
Canadian Pacific Railway line) and
Highway 13. About from its source, the river crosses Highway 13 and then approaches an abandoned six-arch
bowstring bridge () that was built in 1936. The bridge is about long, crosses over Notukeu Creek and the railway, and is part of the original routing of Highway 13. Continuing east from the bridge, Notukeu Creek runs along the western side of
Scotsguard then heads south-east where it flows into
Admiral Reservoir (built in 1948). From the east end of the lake, it heads north-east to
Crichton where it flows north around the village crossing Highway 13 twice. From Crichton, it continues east where it crosses
Highway 4 south of
Cadillac. Bull Creek meets Notukeu Creek south-east of Cadillac. A short distance east of that confluence, Notukeu Creek turns north where it once again crosses Highway 13 and then empties into
Gouverneur Reservoir (built in 1951). At the northern end of the reservoir, the river exits at the dam and travels east to
Ponteix. At Ponteix, it crosses
Highway 628, runs along the north side of town, and passes through
Notukeu Regional Park. From Ponteix, Notukeu Creek meanders generally north-east towards
Vanguard. South of Vanguard, it is met by Russell Creek, crosses
Highway 609, and then heads east across
Highways 43 and
19. In the
RM of Gravelbourg No. 104 about east-southeast of
Bateman and north of
Coppen, the historic Coppen Bridge () crosses the river. The bridge, designed for vehicle traffic and built in 1920 by the
Dominion Bridge Company, is a single span
Pratt through truss bridge that is long and wide. Continuing east from the bridge, Notukeu Creek crosses
Highways 610 and
58 before meeting the Wood River about north-east of
Gravelbourg. Notukeu Creek passes through the rural municipalities of Bone Creek No. 108,
Grassy Creek No. 78,
Wise Creek No. 77,
Auvergne No. 76,
Whiska Creek No. 106,
Glen Bain No. 105, and Gravelbourg No. 104. == See also ==
