The stream flowing southwest through Lot 5341 into the Fraser River is labelled "Tumbledick Creek" on BC map 3H, Tete Jaune, 1914, 1915, 1919, 1923, 1931, 1947, 1951 & 1958. This main channel since re-named Monroe Creek and the name "Tumbledick" assigned to a tributary on the north side. Large scale air photos indicate that the mid-channel of Monroe Creek has been diverted by road construction in the vicinity of Lot 9315 and now flows south into the Fraser River; Tumbledick Creek now appears to flow directly into the Fraser River via the original channel through Lot 5341.
