Mill Creek (Philadelphia)
Creek in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
About
Mill Creek rises in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; runs southeasterly to West Philadelphia, where it enters 19th-century sewer pipes; and debouches roughly five miles later in the Schuylkill River near The Woodlands Cemetery. It starts near Narberth, where its source is buried, then runs free for a mile or so before entering Philadelphia at the Overbrook station.
The creek, which drains about 5,000 acres (20 km2), gave its name to two neighborhoods in Philadelphia under which it flows.
