The southeastern US is a freshwater biodiversity hotspot in North America, particularly among invertebrates and mollusks. Freshwater gastropods play important structural and functional roles in rivers, but there are limited studies about their natural history and abundance. We aimed to describe the distribution of freshwater snails in a tributary of the Lower Flint River watershed in southwest Georgia. We surveyed ten shoals in the lower reaches of Ichawaynochaway Creek in late summer 2025 to determine the species composition, abundance, and habitat associations of freshwater snails. At each shoal, we conducted 15 five-minute snorkel visual surveys using a transect-quadrat method across a 25-m reach. For the dominant species, Elimia boykiniana, we measured the individual snail shell short and long axis dimensions, axes of the operculum, and wet mass. Additionally, we characterized substrate, velocity, and depth at each quadrat, and water physical chemistry (dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH) at each shoal. We identified three snail taxa: E. boykiniana (n = 1804), Family Hydrobiidae (n = 327) and Viviparus goodrichi (n =1), but focused on E. boykiniana as it was the most abundant taxa. E. boykiniana shell length (2.0-18.6mm), wet mass (0.0061-1.8g), and mean density per shoal (0.5-135.8 snails/m2) varied across shoals. E. boykiniana density decreased as water deepened across the shoals, but the density-velocity relationship was site-specific. For substrate preference, snail density was greater on bedrock relative to cobble, sand, and wood habitats. Overall, our results indicated that E. boykiniana density is influenced by habitat characteristics within this specific creek. These findings offer an insight into the freshwater gastropod community in Ichawaynochaway Creek to inform future conservation and monitoring efforts in the southeast USA.
