Harlows Creek

Harlows Creek is a stream in Wahkiakum County in the U.S. state of Washington.

The new name commemorates John (1872-1953) and Mary (1888-1963) Harlow, who lived in the area during the 1870s.

[1] The origin of the name Jim Crow Creek was a reference to James D. Saules, a free black sailor who travelled widely throughout the Pacific in the 1800s.

[3] Harlows Creek originates high on the slopes of Elk Mountain and flows south to the Columbia River, entering the river just east of the historical community of Brookfield, about 13 mi (21 km) east of Astoria, Oregon.

[1] An early 20th century work suggested the point was named for crows that nested there.
