Gravois Creek is a stream in south central Morgan County, Missouri. It is a tributary of the Osage River within the Lake of the Ozarks.[1]
The stream headwaters arise along the east side of Missouri Route 135 approximately 3.5 miles south of Stover[1] at 38.3906°N -92.9911°W at an elevation of approximately 1100 feet.[2] The stream flows east to southeast passing under Missouri Route 5 to enter the waters of the Lake of the Ozarks at Gravois Mills[1] at 38.3203°N -92.8272°W and an elevation of 663 feet. Prior to the impoundment of the lake the stream confluence with the Osage River was at approximately 38.2211°N -92.7361°W and an elevation of on the Morgan-Camden county line approximately eight miles southeast of Gravois Mills.[3]
The stream was named for the large quantity of gravel in its streambed from the French "gravois" rubbish or gravel.[4]
