The stream meanders to the east passing south of Smithton into Morgan County and under Missouri Route 135 to its confluence with Richland Creek to form the Lamine River at 38°40′07″N92°57′11″W / 38.66861°N 92.95306°W / 38.66861; -92.95306 Coordinates: 38°40′07″N92°57′11″W / 38.66861°N 92.95306°W / 38.66861; -92.95306 .

Flat Creek most likely derives its name from a corruption of the French word plat, meaning "shallow". [3]
