Philly H2O: Ledger Creek Names 1879 |
 | | Bow creek, southern boundary of Philadelphia City, flows from Darby creek, along the northeastern side of Tinicum Island, and, after a short bend nearly due east, enters the Delaware opposite Hog Island. |
 | | It was also called Church creek, because at one time it was a convenient road of travel to Tinicum church.--Muckinapattus creek rises in Darby township, Delaware County, flows south-west, and joins Darby creek, west of the junction with Bow creek. |
 | | A portion of the creek east of the junction of the Little Tacony is called Questioninck in a patent to Eric Cock and others, and Quissinuaminck in a patent to Thomas Fairman, 1688. |
