Tick Creek is a tributary of the Gasconade River in northwestern Phelps County in the Ozarks of Missouri. [1]

The stream headwaters are approximately four miles west of Rolla at 37°57′29″N91°51′09″W / 37.95806°N 91.85250°W / 37.95806; -91.85250 . [1] The stream flows west passing north of Doolittle then turns north and on to its confluence with the Gasconade on the Phelps-Maries county line at 38°02′08″N91°55′24″W / 38.03556°N 91.92333°W / 38.03556; -91.92333 .

Tick Creek most likely was so named due to the reported abundance of ticks in the area. [3]
