Nice view of the creek. I always wondered how it got it's name. Finally I found the info:
Witch Creek, Mountain is five miles west of Santa Ysabel. Had its own post office I 893-1938. There were so many English immigrants in this area that it was sometimes called New London. Reverend Thomas J. Wood, English immigrant resident and brother of James Wood, longtime post-master here, explained the origin of the name: "The Indians who lived here called it a name that sounded to us like Sissero' or `Sissera. I believe they were mispronouncing the Spanish word ‘hechicero' or ‘hechicera' which means wizard or witch, enchanter or bewitcher. We translated their word as witch, however, and that is the origin of the present name Witch Creek,"
