Flowing generally west from its source south of Silver Falls State Park, it passes through the cities of Aumsville, Stayton, Sublimity, and Turner before emptying into the Willamette in Salem.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Friends of Mill Creek )〕 Salem's first gristmill and sawmill were built on the creek in 1840–41 by members of the Oregon Mission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Creeks of Salem )〕 ==Course== Mill Creek begins at the confluence of South Fork Mill Creek and North Fork Mill Creek in Coon Hollow, about east of Sublimity. It flows generally west, passing under Oregon Route 22 between Sublimity, to the creek's right, and Stayton, to the left. Near river mile (RM) 18 or river kilometer (RK) 29, the creek receives Salem Ditch from the left; the ditch transports water from the North Santiam River to Mill Creek. The creek reaches Aumsville, on the stream's right, at RM 15 (RK 24), and Beaver Creek enters from the right just beyond RM 12 (RK 19).〔 The maps, which include river mile (RM) markers for the lower of the creek, cover the following quadrangles from mouth to source: Salem West, Salem East, Turner, Stayton, and Stout Mountain.〕 The creek bisects Turner, situated from the mouth. At Turner, Franzen Reservoir is to the right, and Perrin Lateral enters from the left; like Salem Ditch, it is an artificial channel that carries water from the North Santiam River to Mill Creek. Slightly west of Turner, Mill Creek receives Battle Creek from the left and turns north, passing under Salem–Turner Road at about RM 7 (RK 11).〔 Less than further downstream, Mill Creek passes under Interstate 5, which it parallels for about before passing under Route 22 again and turning northwest. Along the I-5 stretch, Walter Wirth Lake and McNary Field (Salem Municipal Airport) are on the left; near Route 22, the unincorporated neighborhood of Four Corners is on the right. At RM 3.5 (RK 5.6), the creek intersects Shelton Ditch, an artificial channel on the left that diverts water from Mill Creek to Pringle Creek.〔 Cutting through central Salem, the creek intersects Mill Race (another artificial channel diverting water to Pringle Creek) at RM 2.3 (RK 3.7).〔 After passing a stream gauge at RM 1.1 (RK 1.8),〔 Mill Creek flows by the Oregon State Penitentiary, on the right, the Oregon State Capitol, on the left, and North Salem High School, on the right.〔 The creek enters the Willamette River in downtown Salem, opposite Wallace Park, about from the larger stream's confluence with the Columbia River.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mill Creek (Marion County, Oregon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
