The tributaries (themselves, colloquially, forks) of Brandywine Creek drain
the whole area around the church, so it's a district. If you go here (about
8 mi SE of the church), you'll see the primary fork about a mile upstream
from the Brandywine Picnic Park.

It's about 45 miles WSW of where I live.
