Elkhorn Creek is a stream in McDonald County in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is a tributary of Indian Creek.[1]
The stream headwaters arise at 36.7075°N -94.2019°W just east of Missouri Route 76 south of Longview. It flows southwest past Bethpage and then west-northwest to its confluence with Indian Creek south of McNatt at 36.7247°N -94.3219°W.[1]
Some say Elkhorn Creek was named for elk in the area, while others believe the name is a transfer from a creek of the same name in Letcher County, Kentucky.[2]
