Alamuchee Creek
Alamuchee Creek is a stream in the U.S. states of Alabama and Mississippi. It is a tributary to the Sucarnoochee River.
Alamuchee most likely is a name derived from the Choctaw language meaning roughly "hiding place". Variant names are "Alamucha Creek", "Alamutchee Creek", "Allamucha Creek", "Allamuchee Creek", "Allamuchy Creek", "Allimucha Creek", and "Allimuchee Creek".
Tributaries include Little Alamuchee Creek and Toomsuba Creek.
The Alamuchee-Bellamy Covered Bridge once crossed Alamuchee Creek prior to being moved to the University of West Alabama campus in 1969.
