Clear Creek (Nodaway River tributary)

Last updated

Clear Creek is a stream in southwestern Iowa and northwestern Missouri. It is a tributary of the Nodaway River [1] and is 15.6 miles long.

The headwaters arise in southwestern Taylor County in southern Iowa at 40°36′08″N94°53′56″W / 40.6021600°N 94.8988700°W / 40.6021600; -94.8988700 . [1] The stream flows through the southeast corner of Page County, Iowa and enters Nodaway County, Missouri. [1] [2]

The stream flows to the southwest for approximately six miles and then turns to the west southeast of the community of Clearmont. Clear Creek crosses under US 71 one half mile south of Clearmont and enters the Nodaway River just to the east of the extinct hamlet of Possum Walk. [2] The confluence is at 40°29′41″N95°04′13″W / 40.4946000°N 95.0703200°W / 40.4946000; -95.0703200 . [1]

The stream was named due to its clear waters. [3] The stream has one tributary called South Fork Clear Creek, which is longer at 16.8 miles, and passes through Toad Hollow in a winding route through northern Nodaway County.
