Crooked Creek (Muddy Creek tributary) explained

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

The stream headwaters arise at 38.6044°N -93.5042°W 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 38.6736°N -93.5083°W about three miles southeast of Whiteman Air Force Base.[1] Crooked Creek was so named due to the frequent meanders along its course.[2]
