Stocking Head Creek

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

The name Stocking Head Creek was applied to this stream for the local Native American custom of wearing camouflaged masks when deer hunting.[2] Variant names are "Stawkinghead Creek", "Stocking Head Branch" and "Stockinghead Creek".[1]
