Peteetneet Creek

The creek was named after the Timpanogos Chief Peteetneet who lived near it.

Its source is located at 39°56′52″N 111°40′37″W / 39.94778°N 111.67694°W / 39.94778; -111.67694, the confluence of Shram Creek and an unnamed creek that flows through the Frank Young Canyon.

[2] Peteetneet Creek was a good camping spot on the Mormon Road, a Mormon pioneer and 49er wagon route between Salt Lake City, Utah and Los Angeles, California.

This was a wagon freight route used each year from late fall through winter into early spring, between Southern California and Utah, isolated by the winter snows in the Sierra Nevada Mountains from San Francisco and by the Rocky Mountains from the rest of the United States to the east.
