Beaver Creek is a river in the states of Kansas and Nebraska. It begins north-northeast of Goodland, Kansas and flows into Sappa Creek West of Orleans, Nebraska.
On June 28, 1989, roughly 9inches of rain fell in Sherman and Cheyenne counties in Kansas. KDOT had to close a 0.5miles section of K-117 by Herndon due to high water from the Beaver River flooding.[4]
