Dog Creek (Lick Creek tributary)

Dog Creek is a stream in Hickman and Maury counties, Tennessee, in the United States.[1] It is a tributary of Lick Creek.

Dog Creek was so named from an incident when an early settler killed a wolf (he called it a "dog wolf") that was preying on his farm animals.[2]
