Stewarts Creek

… rises in W Forsyth County and flows SE into Muddy Creek. Until some time prior to 1762, it was known as Tomahawk Branch. In that year, Joseph Stewart settled near its banks, and it presumably took his name. It appears as Stewarts Creek on the Collet map, 1770, but small streams flowing into it are still known as Tomahawk Creek and Little Tomahawk Creek.
