Generally, a property line is often the center of the creek. It depends on your deed description and your state laws. Some states provide that a property that abuts a waterway runs to its center. Some older deed descriptions rune to the center of a brook and some specifically run to its bank, leaving the brook on the land of the abutter. There is no universal rule about "how close a property line can be" to a creek.

If you want to know how close to a creek you can build you need to check your state wetland protection laws. Waterways are generally protected by buffer zones of 100-200 feet. You can get an answer from your town conservation commission.

How wide is a property line?

A property line itself does not have a physical width; it is an imaginary boundary that defines the edges of a property. However, the width of any features associated with the property line, such as fences or landscaping, can vary based on local regulations and property owner preferences. Additionally, setbacks and easements may influence how close structures can be built to the property line. Always consult local zoning laws for specific requirements.
