Bibalucta Creek

Bibalucta Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Mississippi.^[1]

Bibalucta Creek is a name derived from the Choctaw language, though sources vary as to its meaning. The GNIS translates it as "long pond in the woods",^[1] while Native American languages scholar Keith Baca believes the name is a reference to mulberries.^[2] A variant name is "Bayou Ballucta Creek".^[1]
