Clear Creek is a stream in eastern Daviess County in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] It is a tributary of the Grand River.
The stream headwaters arise at 39°57′57″N 93°46′22″W / 39.9658444°N 93.7727196°W [1] approximately 1.5 miles east of Jamesport. The stream flows to the south meandering briefly into Livingston County in two places before turning to the south-southwest and crossing under Missouri Route 190 before reaching its confluence with the Grand River approximately 1.5 miles west of Lock Springs [2] at 39°51′02″N 93°48′54″W / 39.8505664°N 93.8149400°W. [1]
Clear Creek most likely was named for the clarity of water. [3]
