Hurricane Creek|Creek Bottom at Sartoris Place in The Town (Location)

The "creek" that flows behind the Sartoris place and toward the Tallahatchie River appears in several other texts, but is given a name in the story "My Grandmother Millard and General Bedford Forrest and the Battle of Harrykin Creek.": "Hurricane Creek" is its official designation, but everyone calls it "Harrykin Creek" (697). In The Town, Chick Mallison refers to it as "Harrykin Creek," which is frozen solid, daring Aleck Sander to jump into it. "right through the ice, clothes and all" (56).
