Butler Creek (White River tributary)

Butler Creek is a tributary of the White River, located in Marion County, Indiana. It is a relatively small stream that drains a portion of the city of Indianapolis and its surrounding suburban areas. The creek's watershed is largely urbanized, and the stream is therefore subject to impacts from stormwater runoff, including increased flow rates, pollutant loading, and habitat degradation. Butler Creek joins the White River within the Indianapolis city limits. Specific information regarding the creek's length, drainage area, and water quality is available from various environmental agencies and studies conducted by local universities and government organizations. The creek is named after the Butler family, early settlers in the area.
