Moccasin Creek (South Dakota)

Moccasin Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of South Dakota.[1]

The stream's flow begins just north of Aberdeen, flowing south through Aberdeen until it meets and flows into the James River.

Moccasin Creek most likely derives its name from "moccasin flower" a variant name of Cypripedioideae.[2]
