James Creek

Its course ran through land owned by James Greenleaf, roughly parallel to the route of present-day Delaware Avenue, SW,[1] emptying into a cove along the Anacostia River at present-day 1st Street SW, between Greenleaf Point to the west and Buzzard Point to the east.

South of I Street SW, it flowed through an area of tidal marshes.

By 1815, its upstream reach was subsumed into the Washington City Canal, together with the main stem of Tiber Creek.

From 1866 to 1876, its tidal lower reach was converted into the James Creek Canal, which was buried in 1916–1917.
