Short Creek (Bean Lake tributary)

Last updated

Short Creek is a stream in Platte County in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] It is a tributary of Bean Lake. [2]

Short Creek was so named on account of its relatively short length. [3] It sources from the Missouri River Valley bluffs north of Iatan and flows southwest, crossing Route 45/273, and then flows into Bean Lake in the Missouri River floodplain. [4]
