Uchee Creek is a stream[2] in the east-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia.[3] It derives its name from the Yuchi (or Uchee) Indians, who once lived in the area.[4] Variant spellings are Euchee Creek and Yuchi Creek.[4][3]
Its source is just north of Harlem, and its mouth is at the Little River north of Evans. Both Harlem–Grovetown Road and William Few Parkway have two crossing of Uchee Creek each. The stream only flows through a portion of one city, Grovetown, through which it flows through the far northwestern part.
