Spring Creek (Bourbeuse River tributary)

Spring Creek is a stream in southeastern Franklin County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Bourbeuse River.

The stream headwaters arise along the north side of Missouri Route 185 approximately one mile west of downtown Sullivan at 38°12′53″N 91°11′47″W.[1][2] The stream flows north passing west of the Long Ridge Conservation Area three miles east of Spring Bluff. It turns northeast to its confluence with the Bourbeuse at 38°20′29″N 91°07′36″W[1] approximately four miles north of Stanton. The stream gains the water of two named springs, Sour Spring west of the conservation area and Kratz Spring north of the conservation area.[3]

Spring Creek was named for the fact its flow is increased by springs along its course.[4]
