White Rock Creek (Kansas)

White Rock Creek is a river in the central Great Plains of North America.

A tributary of the Republican River, it flows through northern Kansas.

The mouth of White Rock Creek was the location where a group of six buffalo hunters from Waterville, Kansas were killed by Cheyenne Dog Soldiers in May 1869.

[2] Also in May of 1869, the Excelsior Colony from New York, took claims along White Rock Creek and built a blockhouse north of the present town of Mankato.

By June 1869, all of the settlers had left because of conflicts with the Indians.
