Jacks Defeat Creek

	Jacks Defeat Creek Jacks Defeat Creek is a stream in Monroe County, Indiana, in the United States. It is a tributary of Beanblossom Creek. Jacks Defeat Creek was so named from an incident when two men, Jack Storm and Jack Ketcham were crossing the creek on horseback and both became stuck in the mud. An alternative for the name, is that it is an English bastardization of the name of the first settler along the creekJacque LaFitte.The French had presence in Vincennes, Kaskaskia and Detroit with land travel across Indiana. The alternative name for the creek, if correct, fits with the presence of the French briefly in the area after Vincennes was founded in the 1730s until the French were driven out in the French and Indian War.

picture info	Rivers Of Monroe County, Indiana A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England.
