I shot my first deer next to Ni**erhead Creek (now Yellowjacket), not far from Bear Sh*t Lake in Washington State back in the 60’s. Both were listed on maps at the time.
There is a crossroads near here called Negro Foot.
I still have an old map that has that designation on it.
The story goes that an escaped slave had his foot amputated and posted at the crossroads as a warning to other potential runaways.
It’s been scrubbed from more recent maps.
A niggerhead is an old logging term for a rock jutting out into the logging road that you had to watch out for. Of course I imagine was derogatory even way back then.
I’m guessing it is on I-90 in Montana that there is a sign for Crazy Woman Creek. Always reminds me of the scene from the movie Jeremiah Johnson where he tries to help out the woman that became crazy after an Indian attack wiped out her family (IIRC).
