Big Haynes Creek is a small waterway, also known as a stream, located in the U.S. state of Georgia. It flows into a larger river called the Yellow River. This means Big Haynes Creek is a "tributary" to the Yellow River, which is like a smaller branch feeding into a bigger tree trunk.

What's in a Name?

Big Haynes Creek got its name from a person named Thomas Haynes. He owned a local "gin." In this case, a gin was likely a cotton gin, a machine used to separate cotton fibers from their seeds. So, the creek was named after a local businessman who was important in the area's history.
