Coonewah Creek

Coonewah Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Mississippi.[1] It is a tributary to Town Creek.

Coonewah Creek is a name derived from the Choctaw language or possibly the Chickasaw language, but scholars do not agree on the original meaning of its native name.[2] Variant names are "Colberts Creek" and "Coonewar Creek".[1]
