Swan Creek (Gasconade River tributary)
Swan Creek is a stream in Osage County in Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Gasconade River.
The stream headwaters are at 38°27′50″N 91°52′39″W / 38.46389°N 91.87750°W and the confluence with the Gasconade is at 38°23′27″N 91°49′11″W / 38.39083°N 91.81972°W.[1] The stream source arises on the southeast side of Pea Ridge and Missouri Route U and south of Linn. The stream flows southeast passing under Missouri Route 89 just prior to entering a sharp meander of the Gasconade. The community of Rich Fountain lies to the west of the confluence on Brush Creek.[2]
Swan Creek was named for the fact swans frequented a lake near its course.[3]
