The Little Thornapple rises from the outflow of Jordan Lake [4] in north-central Woodland Township at 42°45′38″N 85°08′43″W / 42.76056°N 85.14528°W. [1]
The stream flows primarily to the southwest and empties into the Coldwater River in central Carlton Township at 42°42′50″N 85°13′41″W / 42.71389°N 85.22806°W. [1]
The Little Thornapple, with Jordan Lake tributaries, forms an important part of the upper Coldwater River watershed. [5] [6] The Little Thornapple is considered to form the headwaters of the Coldwater River. [7]
Lake Jordan is fed primarily by the outflow of Tupper Lake, [8] which in turn is fed by Tupper Creek [9] all in Odessa and Sebewa townships in Ionia County.
