Beaverdam Creek is a stream in Butler and Ripley counties in the Ozarks of southern Missouri. [1] It is a tributary of the Little Black River.

The stream headwaters arise in northeastern Ripley County at the confluence of North Prong and West Prong creeks at 36°45′55″N90°39′05″W / 36.76528°N 90.65139°W / 36.76528; -90.65139 and an elevation of about 435 feet. [1] [2] The stream flows to the south and east entering Butler County about one mile southeast of the headwaters and about two miles southwest of the community of Milltown. [2] [3] The stream meanders to the southeast for about five miles to its confluence with the Little Black River at 36°41′32″N90°34′14″W / 36.69222°N 90.57056°W / 36.69222; -90.57056 and an elevation of 315 feet. [1] [4] The confluence is about two miles north of the US Route 160 crossing of the Little Black and about three miles northeast of the community of Fairdealing. [4] Poplar Bluff lies about nine miles east-northeast of the confluence. [5]

Beaverdam Creek was so named on account of beaver dams on its course. [6]
