Buckshot Road. Mud Creek. Dry Creek. Big Creek. Little Creek. Moon City Road. The list goes on and on in our small county.
I recently did a subdivision for an attorney who was representing a group of hispanics who couldn't speak english well (at all in some cases). He let me name the roads. There is an 18 year old boy out there who's grandfather is the defacto patriarch. The boy acted as our interpreter. He got a road named after him.
The name of the road going to our local "refuse transfer station" (i.e. dump) is "Throwita Way."

Kind of like the South Lake Union Transit...
We've got Dead Rattlesnake Rd. and further south is Flat Armadillo Rd. followed by Edge of the Earth Rd.
Sidearm protection is suggested....
Dry Creek is popular in California. Usually it is a Creek with floodplains on the FIRM.
From the field, about 6 years ago or so.

Yep. Look at that, and you can picture what happened there.
Going West on Lavista RD you get the message.
And then on the Southeast Side of I-285 going North you have Doolittle Creek and then Dooless Creek. I guess it is a competition.
I had honestly wondered, once, about what the most common repeating name for creeks here in Texas would be. My bet was on a Turkey Creek or a Spring Creek, until Kris mentioned Dry, Big, and Little Creek, which sounded about right. Seems they would all be wrong. Here's a map reportedly showing the most common creek names in each state said to be compiled from this USGS database search tool.
That must be wrong. I honestly don't believe I have ever seen a Spring Creek in Kansas. A short reach of Spring River, though, cuts across the very southeast corner of the state.
I hear ya' Cow, I would have guessed Kris was right about the Dry, Little, and Big Creek too. There's a link to the USGS search function if you have the time.
