History

Indian name taken from a prospector's map drawn in 1900; reported the same year by T. G. Gerdine (in Brooks and others, 1908, pl. 3), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It was probably this stream which Lieutenant H. T. Allen named "Dora Creek" in 1885, a name now applied to the next stream to the west.
