Cole Camp Creek Explained

Cole Camp Creek is a stream in Benton County in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is a tributary of the Osage River arm of the Lake of the Ozarks.^[1]

Cole Camp Creek most likely was named after Stephen Cole, an early settler, although folk etymology maintains deposits of coal in the area account for the name.^[2] Mining equipment travel and in-stream gravel mining caused bank erosion and no flowing water in Cole Camp Creek.^[3]
