Clapper Creek is the location where Peter Lassen and Edward Clapper were murdered in 1859.[1][2]
Fairfield (p. 171) writes:
"At the Black Rock range they camped one evening beside a small stream ever since known as Clapper creek. The camp was in a nook of the canyon overlooked by high bluffs on three sides There was a little feed for the horses and the place was a very pleasant if in those times dangerous location for a camp."
Ferol Egan's chapter about the Lassen-Clapper murders is titled "An Occurrence at Black Rock Canyon".[3] Egan states that the modern name of Black Rock Canyon is Clapper Canyon.
The Oregon-California Trails Association places the Lassen-Clapper murder site at T38N R26E S7 NE1/4,[4] (41°12'38.11"N 119° 3'2.28"W). Note that the grave site is not on Clapper Creek[5], it is in a small canyon south of Clapper Creek.
