A Yazoo stream (also called a Yazoo tributary[2]) is a geologic and hydrologic term for any tributary stream that runs parallel to, and within the floodplain of a larger river for considerable distance, before eventually joining it. This is especially the characteristic when such a stream is forced to flow along the base of the main river's natural levee.[3] Where the two meet is known as a "belated confluence" or a "deferred junction". The name is derived from an exterminated Native American tribe, the Yazoo Indians.[4] The Choctaw word is translated to "River of Death" because of the strong flows under its bank full stage.[5]
