Brushy Fork (Tavern Creek tributary) explained

Brushy Fork is a stream in Miller County in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is a tributary of Tavern Creek.[1]

The stream headwaters arise just north of Missouri Route 42 about two miles northeast of Brumley at 38.0983°N -92.4544°W and an elevation of about 950 feet.[2] The stream flows to the northeast passing between the communities of Ulman and Watkins and under Missouri Route 17 to its confluence with Tavern Creek[3] [1] at 38.1675°N -92.3269°W.

Brushy Fork was so named due to the abundance of brush along its course.[4]
