The Nacoochee Mound is a prehistoric earthen mound on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in White County, in the northeast part of the U.S. state of Georgia, at the junction of Georgia Highways 17 and 75. Nacoochee is derived from a Cherokee word that means "evening star". It is in an area of long human habitation, and was important in the Woodland and Mississippian culture periods, from 100 BCE to about 1500 CE.
