History
Named by Marshall (1956, p. 123) in 1938. About it he wrote, We pushed on across a high ridge to the place where all of us except Jesse Allen thought the main Anaktuvuk lay * * *. He was right, the creek proved to be nothing but a false alarm-so we called it Fake Creek, and climbed over another ridge."
