Explanation:

Step1: Recall the rule of contour lines and water flow

Water flows from higher elevation to lower elevation. Contour lines bend upstream at a river or creek.

Step2: Analyze the contour lines around Moody Creek

Looking at the contour lines (1000, 1200), and using the north arrow for direction. The contour lines bend in a way that shows the creek is flowing from higher (1200 - like area) to lower. If we consider the orientation (north arrow), the direction of flow is southeast.

Answer:

southeast
