Crooked Creek (Muddy Creek tributary)

Crooked Creek is a stream in Johnson and Pettis counties of the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Muddy Creek.

The stream headwaters arise at 38°36′16″N 93°30′15″W / 38.60444°N 93.50417°W / 38.60444; -93.50417[1] in western Pettis County about 125 feet east of the Pettis-Johnson county line approximately five miles north of Windsor. The stream flows generally due north parallel to the county line and routes B and AA past the community of Owsley. The stream veers west into Johnson County for the last half mile before entering Muddy Creek at 38°40′25″N 93°30′30″W / 38.67361°N 93.50833°W / 38.67361; -93.50833[1] about three miles southeast of Whiteman Air Force Base.[2]

Crooked Creek was so named due to the frequent meanders along its course.[3]
