French Creek is an intermittent stream located in the Black Hills region of western South Dakota, United States. It is a tributary of the Cheyenne River. French Creek flows year-round, but in drier periods it flows into an underground drainage near the eastern boundary of Custer State Park and never reaches the Cheyenne. French Creek most likely was named for the ancestry of early trappers. Gold was discovered in French Creek during an expedition led by George Armstrong Custer in 1874. This discovery triggered the Black Hills gold rush of the late 1870s.

dbo:abstract
  • Der French Creek ist ein Fluss im US-Bundesstaat South Dakota. Er entspringt in den Black Hills ungefähr 8 km nordöstlich von Custer und fließt in östlicher Richtung durch den Custer State Park. Nach ca. 100 km mündet der French Creek nahe der Lakota-Siedlung in den Cheyenne River. Berühmt wurde der French Creek 1874, als eine Expedition des 7. US-Kavallerieregiments unter dem Kommando von George Armstrong Custer Gold entdeckte. Die Goldfunde im Tal des French Creek lösten den Goldrausch in den Black Hills aus und führten 1875 zur Gründung der ersten Goldgräberstadt, die heute den Namen Custers trägt. (de)
  • French Creek is an intermittent stream located in the Black Hills region of western South Dakota, United States. It is a tributary of the Cheyenne River. French Creek flows year-round, but in drier periods it flows into an underground drainage near the eastern boundary of Custer State Park and never reaches the Cheyenne. French Creek rises approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Custer, South Dakota and extends for a length of 62 miles (100 km). The river flows in a generally eastward direction through Custer State Park and empties into the Cheyenne River near Red Shirt west of Badlands National Park. Custer State Park has a trail in French Creek Natural Area and a horse camp, both along the river. Near the river's eastern terminus on the prairie, French Creek Camping Area is part of a National Forest. French Creek most likely was named for the ancestry of early trappers. Gold was discovered in French Creek during an expedition led by George Armstrong Custer in 1874. This discovery triggered the Black Hills gold rush of the late 1870s. (en)
