At least the Western Australian government and a map says so...

They can be wrong. The place may well be named Wolfe Creek (with "e"),
but the meteorite is oficially named Wolf Creek (without "e").
Wolfe Creek is not even registered as a synonym.

I guess that's a bit like the official NomCom misspelling of the Lake "Okeechobee", FL meteorite, the meteorite incorrectly spelled Okechobee, and no synonyms listed either. It makes you wonder how such a thing occurred.
