The locality presumably takes its name from the watercourse Utchee Creek which rises near Mount Utchee in neighbouring Mamu to the west, then meanders through the southern part of the locality of Utchee Creek, briefly forms a part of the eastern boundary of the locality, and then flows into neighbouring Camp Creek to the north-east where it becomes a tributary of Boolabah Creek, just before Boolabah Creek becomes a tributary of the South Johnstone River.[3]

In the 2016 census, Utchee Creek had a population of 255 people.[4]

In the 2021 census, Utchee Creek had a population of 256 people.[1]
