This creek has gained some notoriety in a particular place, that is the location of Sachs Covered Bridge and the site of the posted coordinates. It was at this point that both armies crossed the creek before and after the Battle of Gettysburg.
Marsh Creek is a 26.6-mile-long (42.8 km) tributary of the Monocacy River in south-central Pennsylvania and north-central Maryland in the United States. Marsh Creek and Rock Creek join below Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Battlefield to form the Monocacy River. The height of land between Marsh and Rock creeks is the site of the Battle of Gettysburg.
