In the lower reaches, it draws the border line between Anamur and the Gazipaşa ilçe of Antalya Province. The most important settlement by the river was used to be a village named after the creek. A part of the village was to the west and another part was to the east of the creek. But now the administratively the village is divided. The smaller part in the west is renamed Yakacık, Gazipaşa a village of Antalya Province and the larger part is the Anıtlı, Anamur of Mersin Province.
