Duck Creek (Wisconsin)

Duck Creek is a stream in Brown and Outagamie counties, Wisconsin, in the United States.[1]

Duck Creek was named for the many ducks seen along its banks by trappers.[2] In the Menominee language, it is known as Sēqsepaketaheqkoneh, an archaic name meaning "duck landing place".[3]
