Battle Creek is a stream in Minnesota. It rises in Battle Creek Lake in Woodbury, passing through residential Maplewood and St. Paul before emptying into the Mississippi River via Pigs Eye Lake. It is followed for much of its length by walking paths. It is the eponym for the Battle Creek neighborhood of Saint Paul.
Battle Creek was named in commemoration of the 1842 battle between Ojibwe attackers and the Dakota of the village Kaposia [1]
