Coffee Bogue
Coffee Bogue is a stream in the U.S. state of Mississippi.[1] It is a tributary to the Pearl River.[1]
Coffee Bogue is a name derived from the Choctaw language meaning either "quail creek" or "sassafras creek"; the element "Coffee" in this context is an Anglicization of the Indian name and does not refer to the hot beverage.[2] Variant names are "Beach Creek", "Buck Branch", and "Coffee Bogue Creek".[1]
