Rattlesnake Creek is a tributary, 57miles long, of Crooked Creek in the U.S. state of Oregon.[4] The creek, which is intermittent, begins in the desert north of McDermitt in Malheur County.[5] It joins Crooked Creek southeast of the intersection of U.S. Route 95 and Oregon Route 78 at Burns Junction, about 15miles from the larger stream's confluence with the Owyhee River.[6]
