Comite Creek

Comite Creek is a stream in the U.S. states of Louisiana and Mississippi.[1] It is a tributary to the Comite River.

The origin of the name "Comite Creek" is obscure. Comite may be a corruption of the name of Amite as in Amite River.[2] Variant names are "Comite River" and "East Fork Comite River".[1]
