Do you know of Green Creek ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Green Creek. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Green Creek.<1>

Our sources for Green Creek (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Green Creek other than they indicate that Green Creek would be found somewhere in Muskegon County, Michigan.
