The "creek" was Bull Run and both battles there called Battle of Manasses by the Confederates. The South tended to use places to name US Civil War events and armies. The Union, on the other hand tended to use bodies of water for battles and armies. For an army example, we have the Confederate's Army of Northern Virginia. Its counterpart, so to speak, was the Army of the Potomac.
