| Cottonwood Creek is tributary to Nevada Creek and subsequently to the Blackfoot River. |
| Deer Creek Gulch is tributary to Yourname Creek and subsequently to the Blackfoot River. |
| Placenames (9964 words) |
| The creek was so named because the Vic Shultz family, who lived on the creek for many years, put their butter churn in the creek and let the water action rock the churn, turning the cream into butter. |
| This creek is a beautiful stream, one of the largest in the valley, flowing from the heart and higher altitudes of the Bitterroot range. |
| The 1902 GLO survey plat shows the creek as 'Brickley Creek,' probably because the Brickleys lived on the creek at the time, and had established a cemetery where all three members of the Brickley family are buried. |
