Carroll Creek

Carroll Creek lies in Frederick County, Maryland and runs through Frederick City. It is a tributary of the Monocacy River, which in turn feeds into the Potomac River. The Shawnee Indians, who called the Monocacy River, “Monnockkesey” (which translates as “river with many bends”), named Carroll Creek “Walkwaki Methtegui,” which translates as “down in the gully creek.”
