The stream headwaters arise southeast of Richwoods at 38°07′34″N90°48′27″W / 38.12611°N 90.80750°W / 38.12611; -90.80750 and the confluence with Indian Creek is at 38°14′44″N90°56′44″W / 38.24556°N 90.94556°W / 38.24556; -90.94556 . [1]

The stream source area lies west of Missouri Route 47 and it flows northwest passing under Missouri Route A one mile west of Richwoods.

In southern Franklin County the stream is joined from the east by Rye Creek and the stream flows through the Little Indian Creek Conservation Area. The confluence with Indian Creek is about 1.7 miles south of that streams confluence with the Meramec River. [2]
