Noix Creek

Noix Creek is a stream in Pike County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Mississippi River which it enters on the southeast side of the city of Louisiana.[2]

Noix Creek was so named on account of nut-bearing trees along its course, the name noix meaning "nut" in French.[3]
