Tobacco Garden Creek is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 30 mi (48 km) long, in northwestern North Dakota in the United States. It rises in the badlands south of the Missouri in McKenzie County, and flows SE, then NNE. It joins the Missouri in Tobacco Garden Bay, an inlet of Lake Sakakawea.
The Creek Indians were a confederation of tribes that belonged primarily to the Muskhogean linguistic group, which also included the Choctaws and Chickasaws.
In early historic times, the Creek population was variously estimated at 11,000 to 24,000, distributed among fifty to eighty towns and outlying villages.
Creek families lived in dwellings that consisted of one to four buildings, depending on the size and wealth of the family.
Creek setbacks are generally acknowledged to be essential if creeks are to retain any of their natural functions in a developed area.
The natural summer water supply for our creeks depends upon the discharge from soil saturated by winter rain, and when this flow is reduced by residents and businesses withdrawing water from the creek to water their landscaping, fish and other aquatic life die from lack of oxygen and food, from predation and from over-warm water.
Creeks are held in public trust by the state of California, and are regulated in the public interest.
