Do you know of Olustee Creek ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Olustee Creek. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Olustee Creek.<1>

Our sources for Olustee Creek (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Olustee Creek other than they indicate that Olustee Creek would be found somewhere in Pike County, Alabama.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1849 and closed  in 1905.
