Cedar Creek is pretty but there are too many creeks named "Cedar Creek."

There are forty-seven creeks named "Cedar Creek" in Oklahoma (according to the Geographic Names Information System), and that is too many, and most should be renamed.

 

Unfortunately if it were left to the people of Oklahoma to rename them, they'd all be named in honor of Donald Trump!
