The stream is formed from the confluence of the north and south forks of the Linganore (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".), about Script error: No such module "convert". east-northeast of the city of Frederick. The creek runs roughly southwest to the Monocacy River, which drains to the Potomac River. The watershed area of the creek is Script error: No such module "convert".. High water in the creek can result in flooding of Gas House Pike, an east–west road running between Monocacy Boulevard and Green Valley Road.[2]
The name "linganore" purportedly means "left ear" (of the Potomac), a name coined by an American Indian chief who once lived on the banks of the waterway.[3][4]
Lake Linganore
Lake Linganore, an impoundment built on the creek about Script error: No such module "convert". east of Frederick, is the principal source of drinking water for the city. It is also a drinking water source for the central portion of Frederick County.[5][6] The community of Lake Linganore takes its name from the lake.
