Does anyone know where I can go online to find a map that has most of the Creek names on it? I’ve been using google earth to kinda of do some scouting at home, but it doesn’t show any of the creek names on it.

If you have a tablet or smartphone, look in your App Store for a program called “esri ArcGIS”.
I use two maps most of the time. They are “USA Topo Maps” and “Imagery with Labels”.
The topo map has depth charts, and the imagery map is satellite views. Both have good labeling of creeks.

just downloaded that app, thanks for intel.
Thanks a lot HoofArded, really appreciate this. I just would like to be able to tell someone what creek I was in, instead of trying to give them directions on the water.

ESRI stuff is good stuff. You might also check out Navionics for iPhone/Pad and Android - turns your phone into a gps/chartplotter.

Theres nothing like the "Smell" and sounds of the creek. Its not just one thing that makes it familiar..its all of it.
NOAA has an online viewer for all nautical charts.

Use this link to overlay all NOAA charts on Google Earth and have the ability to fade the chart so you can see a hybrid image of the satellite shot and chart.

Flash Earth is satellite imagery and has an option to select maps with labels. The closer you zoom in, the more creeks are labeled. Works well on the laptop, not sure about a cell phone.
I have not been able to print from this site though.
