Creek Point Drive

Does the name 'Creek Point' mean anything to you?

Thanks,
  

Top answer

It's just a descriptive name for the street, I ween. Possibly, the point at which a creek once intersected the road system -- but if it is a newer street, the name was more likely chosen only for its bucolic associations, so no creek may exist anywhere in the vicinity. Another possibility is that it is a current or former place name-- a town, landmark, etc (with a similar origin-- a point of land near or associated with a creek).
