Macks Creek is a stream in Dallas and Camden counties in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] It is a tributary of the Little Niangua River.
The stream headwaters arise in northern Dallas County at 37°53′39″N 92°58′51″W / 37.89417°N 92.98083°W at an elevation of 1090 ft. [2] The stream flows north into Camden County through Black Hollow and turns west after crossing under U.S. Route 54 at the community of Macks Creek. [2] The stream flows northwest and north to its confluence with the Little Niangua River at 38°00′57″N 93°00′48″W / 38.01583°N 93.01333°W at an elevation of 725 feet. [1] [3]
The stream and community most likely was named after the local Mack or Hack family of early settlers in the area. [4]
