Its name comes from the German word Schwarz, meaning "black," referring to the muddy creek water. The 33.9 mile-long creek's east branch originates at several lakes around the Holly State Recreation Area in Holly Township in Oakland County. It flows through several small lakes in Fenton Township, through Mundy Township, and along the west side of Bishop International Airport, where it joins with the west branch of the creek just north of Interstate 69 in the city of Swartz Creek.
