Buzzard Run is a stream in Ripley County in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is a tributary of the Little Black River.
The stream headwaters arise at 36.6697°N -90.6364°W about one mile west of Fairdealing just north of US Route 160 at an elevation of about 475 feet.[1] The stream flows south and east passing under Route 160 and Missouri Route B passing south of Fairdealing. The stream flows generally south meandering under Route B repeatedly and continues to its confluence with the Little Black just north of Missouri Route 142 at 36.5956°N -90.6156°W at an elevation of 302 feet. The confluence is about 1.5 miles north of Naylor.[2]
Some say Buzzard Run was so named on account of buzzards in the area, while others believe the creek has the name of the local Buzzard family.[3]
