The stream headwaters arise about 1.5 miles southwest of the community of Burdett and the stream flows south crossing Missouri Route 18 one-half mile west of Lacyville. The stream continues to the south to south-southeast passing under Missouri Route F to its confluence with Miami Creek about three miles northeast of Virginia on Missouri Route 52 and seven miles west-northwest of Butler and US Route 71. [2]
The stream source area is at 38°25′02″N 94°29′52″W / 38.41722°N 94.49778°W and the confluence is at 38°18′17″N 94°27′38″W / 38.30472°N 94.46056°W. [1]
