Ingram Creek, originally Arroyo de la Suerte, is a 14-mile-long (23 km) tributary of the San Joaquin River in Stanislaus County, in the Central Valley of California, USA.
Ingram Creek eroded from the following formations; the Franciscan Assemblage, Mesozoic Ultrabasic Intrusive Rocks, and Marine Sediments of Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene and Eocene in age. Marine sediments have been leached by groundwater, causing an elevated concentration of brine in the groundwater at depths of approximately 600 feet.

Famous quotes containing the word creek:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
