Coldass Creekrises in NW Caldwell County and flows E into Johns River. Both it and Pinchgut Creek were named by two men hunting in the area. They followed a stream until it came to a fork. There they separated, each following one of the forks; they agreed to meet later and name each stream according to their feelings toward it. One man carried the food and the other the sleeping equipment. They became lost but finally met the next day, when they named the creeks. Sometimes shown as Cold Water Creek on modern maps.
