Omusee

Omussee Creek flows east through the wooded country of southeastern Alabama to the Chattahoochee. Near its mouth stood an Indigenous settlement with a platform mound, occupied from about 1300 to 1550. It was the southernmost such mound centre along the river, part of a region rich in Mississippian communities. The creek's name recalls the Emussas, a Yamasee people who moved through the Southeast after the Yamasee War of 1715.
