Soap Creek is a stream in Morgan County in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] It is a tributary to the Lake of the Ozarks.
The stream headwaters arise at 38°16′09″N92°54′09″W / 38.26917°N 92.90250°W and it flows generally east to its confluence with the waters of Lake of the Ozarks at 38°16′26″N92°48′44″W / 38.27389°N 92.81222°W . [1] The source area lies just east of Missouri Route 135 and it passes under Missouri Route 5 approximately three miles south of Gravois Mills, Missouri just before entering the Lake. [2] Prior to flooding of the lake the stream entered Gravois Creek about 2.5 miles further east. [3]
Soap Creek was so named on account of deposits of soapstone in the area. [4]
