Location: Oregon Creek is not named on the Wiseman B-3 topographic map. It is a small right-limit tributary to Flat Creek. The mouth of Oregon Creek is located about 1.5 miles north of the junction of Birch and Flat Creeks. The location of placer prospects on Oregon Creek is not known and the site is plotted just upstream from the mouth of the creek in about the center of section 32, T. 31 N., R. 17 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian.
Geology: Reed (1938) reported that good placer prospects had been found on Oregon Creek but that there had been no mining. Reed described the bedrock on Oregon Creek as schist; Dillon and others (1986) map the area as Upper Devonian(?), Hunt Fork Shale and Middle Devonian(?) siliceous clastic rocks.
Workings: Prospecting but no mining.
Age: Quaternary.
