Ty Ty Creek (Kinchafoonee Creek tributary)
Ty Ty Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] It is a tributary to Kinchafoonee Creek.[2]
Ty Ty Creek may derive its name from the titi trees growing near its banks. According to another tradition, "Tight Eye" was a name applied on account of thick brush which posed as an obstacle to see through.[2] Variant names are "Tight Eye Creek", "Tight-eye Creek", and "Tighteye Creek".[1]
