[3] The stream flows to the northwest and passes under Missouri Route 43 just south of the community of Hornet. It passes into the northeast corner of Oklahoma and under I-44. It turns to the southwest, flows past the community of Five Mile and enters the Spring River approximately 2.5 miles south of Baxter Springs, Kansas. [2] The confluence is at 36°58′48″N94°42′03″W / 36.98000°N 94.70083°W / 36.98000; -94.70083 at an elevation of 797 ft (243 m). [1]

The watercourse of Fivemile Creek is approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) from Neosho, Missouri, hence the name. [4] However, the headwaters of the stream are approximately nine miles northwest of Neosho and it flows to the northwest away from the city. [5]
