Yellowdirt Creek
Yellowdirt Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] It is a tributary to the Chattahoochee River.
The creek's name is an accurate preservation of the native Muscogee language word Ikanlanihachi meaning "yellow dirt".[2] Variant names were "Yellow Dirt Creek", "Yellow Land Creek" and "Puchusehatchee Creek".[1]
