The name refers to the stream's location, between the ten- and eleven-mile markers of the North Douglas Highway.[1]</ref>

A chemical water quality record for the stream dates to 1967.[2] A 1986 panning of water from Elevenmile Creek exhibited a small amount of lead.[3]

A wood harvest area owned by the state of Alaska extends south of the highway from Cove Creek to Elevenmile Creek.[1] The stream also runs through CBJ-owned land.[4]
