From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Oak Cane Branch is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] It is a tributary to the Ogeechee River.[2]

Variant names were "O'Cain Creek", "O'Kane Branch", "Oak Cane Creek", "Ocain's Branch", and "Ocains Branch".[1] The present name is a corruption of the last name of Daniel O'Cain, an 18th-century landholder.[2]
