Swift Current Creek[1] is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. In the 1800s, Métis buffalo hunters called it Rivière au Courant (lit: "River of the Current"). This name was also adopted by the North-West Mounted Police on their March West in 1874. In 1883, the name Swift Current Creek was first published on official maps by the Department of the Interior. The river begins at an elevation of over 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) in the Cypress Hills and flows in a north-easterly direction through valleys and coulees en route to Lake Diefenbaker of the South Saskatchewan River in the semi-arid region known as Palliser's Triangle. Notable communities along the river's course include Swift Current, Waldeck, and South Fork.[2]
