Shoal Creek (Tennessee River)
Shoal Creek (originally called the Sycamore River) is a river from its east point or from the north point on the Little Shoal Creek north of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. The stream rises in northern Lawrence County, Tennessee, and enters the Tennessee River in Lauderdale County, Alabama, where its lower reaches are impounded in the backwater of Wilson Dam. Historically, Shoal Creek (Sycamore River) was an important source of water power for the cotton industry in Lawrence County. Among the early users of the stream's water power was David Crockett, who settled near the creek bank in 1817 and started a powder mill, grist mill and distillery. After these operations were destroyed by a flood in September 1821, Crockett left the area and moved to West Tennessee. The Crockett-Shoals region of Tennessee, including Lawrence County and surrounding areas, is named for Shoal Creek and this famous frontiersman who played an active role in establishing Lawrence County and Lawrenceburg.

Shoal Creek (Illinois)
Shoal Creek is a watercourse in the U.S. state of Illinois. It rises near Harvel, Illinois and, flowing southward through Lake Lou Yaeger, discharges into the Kaskaskia River near Okawville. It drains parts of Montgomery County, Bond County, and Clinton County. Shoal Creek is named for the many shoals and sandbars strewn along its bed. These features prevented the creek from being much used by Native Americans or Euro-American pioneers for travel or commerce. The creek is heavily used in modern times, however, for recreation, flood control, and piped water supply. Until 2019 the creek's water was also used for electrical power generation. Going from north to south, Lake Lou Yaeger and Lake Glenn Shoals, both impoundments of various forks of Shoal Creek, are used by many boaters and fisherfolk; a third Shoal Creek lake, Coffeen Lake, is the site of the Coffeen Power Station, an inactive 900-MW Dynegy electric generating plant; and a fourth lake, Governor Bond Lake, se ...
