West Carrizo Creek forms in Las Animas County, Colorado west-southwest of Kim, Colorado and flows generally east.[2][3] It connects with East Carrizo Creek, which forms in Colorado north of Mt. Carrizo and east of Kim, and which flows generally southeast before turning south,[4] to form North Carrizo Creek at a point about six miles north of the Preston Monument, the tripoint of Colorado, Oklahoma and New Mexico.[5][3]
