Yalobusha River

The Yalobusha River is a river, 165 mi long, in north-central Mississippi in the United States. It is a principal tributary of the Yazoo River, which is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.

The name "Yalobusha" comes from the Choctaw word yalooboshi, meaning "little tadpole", from yalooba, "tadpole", and -ushi, "diminutive".
