Clear Creek (Salt Creek)
Clear Creek is a creek in Monroe County, Indiana. Flowing in the general south-western and southern direction, it is a tributary of Salt Creek, which in its turn flows into the East Fork of Indiana's White River.
Clear Creek drains about 2/3 of the city of Bloomington (most of the city, except for its northern part, which drains to the north, into Griffy Lake and Beanblossom Creek). Clear Creek flows roughly in the west-south-westerly direction across the campus of Indiana University, passing in front of its major landmark, Indiana Memorial Union. On campus, the creek is known as the Jordan River, named so after David Starr Jordan, the president of Indiana University and later of Stanford.
Clear Creek crosses downtown Bloomington via underground pipes. It emerges to the surface near the southern edge of the downtown, and flows south across the southern half of Bloomington (Perry Township). After leaving the city limits, the creek flows through Clear Creek Town, and Clear Creek Township, both of which (as well as various objects and institutions in the area) are named after the creek. Despite its name, Clear Creek Town is not in Clear Creek Township, but in the neighboring Perry Township.
Clear Creek flows into Salt Creek near the southern border of Monroe County, south of Harrodsburg and a short distance downstream from the dam of Lake Monroe (38°59′40″N 86°30′49″W / 38.99444°N 86.51361°W).
