Descriptive of its mouth near that of West Twin Creek.

This feature was named by the Alberta-British Columbia Boundary Commission in 1921. One of The Ramparts.

This name was approved by the Geographic Board of Canada in 1923.

Perhaps it was named after Alfred Driscol, who became a Dominion Land Surveyor in 1872. In 1893 he served on a preliminary Alaska-Canada boundary survey, and in 1905 surveyed the Victoria Trail out of Edmonton. As early as 1917 he suggested that the abandoned railway grade between Edmonton and Jasper offered a foundation for a highway, and with Charles H. Grant, president of the Edmonton Good Roads Association, agitated for a road to Jasper. His last year of active practice as a surveyor was 1931. There is no indication that he ever worked in the Robson Valley.

Probably named by the the Alberta-British Columbia Boundary Commission in 1921.

William A. (1877–1950) and Iona Belle (1879–1966) Doran homesteaded a mile west of Croydon in 1930. William was born in Minnesota and Iona in Illinois. William worked on the road from Dunster to Croydon, and also on the Yellowhead Highway. He was a Mason and an Oddfellow.

Does “Dora Creek“ commemorate one of the eleven brides who became namesakes on maps drawn by Canadian National Railway engineer Charles Buckle in 1913 (see Clemina)?

Or does the name recall Dora (“Ma”) Chapin, who was a “camp follower” during the construction of the railroads through the Yellowhead Pass?

Dora Chapin homesteaded a quarter-section across the Fraser River from Tête Jaune Cache. “At Tête Jaune we had a friendly welcome from Mrs. Chapin and her partner Delbert Switzer,” reported Gerald Smedley Andrews, who passed through in 1925. “They operated a large chicken farm, some fifteen hundred purebred White Leghorns. Practically all their eggs and fryers were shipped to the lodge at Jasper on the CNR.”

According to Otto Bruning, Chapin and Switzer engaged a young couple who came looking for work, and when the husband left to seek employment elsewhere, enslaved the woman and prevented her from communicating with her husband. After about four years the young woman escaped, and married a nearby homesteader. Dora and Delbert disappeared with the couple’s child.

Adopted in 1958 as labelled on Pre-emptor’s map of 1916 (1G). Origin of the name unknown.
