Chewawah Creek

Chewawah Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Mississippi.^[1] It is a tributary to Cane Creek.

Scholarly opinions are divided whether the name Chewawah is derived from the Chickasaw language meaning "cedar", or is a corruption of the name of the Mexican state of Chihuahua.^[2] Variant names are "Chemew Creek" and "Sawaha Creek".^[1]
