Trigger Creek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trigger Creek is a stream in the Taney County, Missouri.[1] The stream headwaters are just east of Missouri Route JJ and it flows northeast passing under Route J between Kirbyville to the northwest and Mincy to the southeast. The stream enters Bull Shoals Lake about 1.5 miles northeast of Route J.[2]

The source is located at: 36°34′06″N 93°09′21″W / 36.56833°N 93.15583°W / 36.56833; -93.15583 and the confluence is at: 36°35′57″N 93°06′30″W / 36.59917°N 93.10833°W / 36.59917; -93.10833.[1]

Trigger Creek was so named on account of frequent flash flooding (i.e. as fast as a "trigger").[3]
