Changing from Duck River to Duck Creek. GNIS has Duck Creek, East Branch Duck River [sic], and West Branch Duck Creek, all in Ontonogan Country, so probably all referring to one creek and it's branches. There are no other Duck Rivers or Duck Creeks in Michigan, according to GNIS, so this article cannot refer to any Duck River in Michigan. 1:100,000 USGS quad map has the label "Duck Creek". Not finding "duck" anything in the linked USGS stream flow data. GeorgeofOrange (talk) 01:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Duck River (Michigan) → Duck Creek (Michigan) – – GNIS has "Duck Creek", "East Branch Duck River" [sic], and "West Branch Duck Creek", all in Ontonogan County, so probably all referring to one creek and it's branches. Confirmed as one creek and its branches by Google Map. There are no other Duck Rivers or Duck Creeks in Michigan, according to GNIS, so this article cannot refer to any other Duck River in Michigan. 1:100,000 USGS quad map labels this "Duck Creek". Not finding "duck" anything in the linked USGS stream flow data GeorgeofOrange (talk) 02:22, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
