Glacier Creek is now known as Little Beaver Creek. The stream of the creek heads in glaciers on the Picket Range, near Whatcom Peak in east central Whatcom County. It flows fifteen miles east by north to Ross Lake five and a half miles south of the Canadian boundary. It was named by U.S. Forest Service personnel for the beaver once plentiful near the mouth of this and other creeks before the flooding on upper Skagit River by Ross Dam.
