Yalobusha River

According to the Geographic Names Information System, it has also been known as "Yallabusha" and as the "Yellowbushy River.

"[2] The Yalobusha River rises in Chickasaw County, northwest of the town of Houston, and flows generally west-southwestwardly through Calhoun, Grenada and Leflore Counties, past the town of Grenada.

Much of the Yalobusha's course through Calhoun County has been straightened and channelized; this section of the river is also known as the "Yalobusha River Canal."

In Grenada County, the river is impounded by a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dam to form Grenada Lake, which collects the Yalobusha's largest tributary, the Skuna River.

The Yalobusha at Grenada, MS averages a discharge of 2,436 cubic feet per second.
