Harlow's Creek (Washington)
Jim Crow Creek was the name of a stream in the U.S. state of Washington. The name was changed in 2016-2017 and is now correctly referred to as Harlows Creek.
Jim Crow Creek took its name from a nearby point. The origin of the name is unclear, but most likely was a reference to Jim Saules, a free black man who worked and lived in the area in the 1800's.
An early 20th century work suggested the point was named for crows that nested there. However, this reference also suggests a tree growing on the point could be seen far out at sea, an idea which should not be taken seriously due to distance as well as geographic features, so the reference itself might have little value.
