Stalking Head Creek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stalking Head Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] It is a tributary to Falling Creek.[2]

The name "Stalking Head Creek" was applied to this stream for the local Native American custom of wearing camouflage masks when deer hunting.[2] A variant name is "Stalkinghead Creek".[1]
