Welcome to Willow Creek ...

While we don't have a date for the founding of Willow Creek, you might get a feel for it by knowing that the earliest mention that we've found (so far) was on a map dated 1956.

A typical abbreviation for Willow Creek: Willow Crk. (or less commonly used: Willow Ck. or Willow Cr.)

Willow Creek is 190 feet [58 m] above sea level.<1>.

Time Zone: Willow Creek lies in the Central Standard Time Zone (CST) and does not observe daylight saving time. The time zone in French: CST- Heure Normale du Centre (HNC).

Note: If you travel south from Willow Creek (for example, toward Havre (MT)), you will soon leave Central Standard Time and cross into the Mountain Time Zone (MST/MDT). In addition, you will be moving from an area that does not observe daylight saving time to one that does.

Adding Willow Creek to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source (so far) we've referenced which mentioned Willow Creek was on a map titled Road Map for Manitoba and Saskatchewan (from Shell Oil, 1956).

Footnotes ...

<1>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Willow Creek - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<2>When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 306 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 474 or 639. New phone numbers in the Willow Creek area will be assigned with one of these codes: 306, 474 or 639. As a result, placing a call in the Willow Creek area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
