Mosquito Creek, about 60 mi. (97 km) long, is a tributary of the Missouri River in southwest Iowa in the United States. It rises near Earling, in Shelby County, and flows in a generally southwesterly direction, meeting the Missouri approximately 5 mi. (8 km) downstream of Council Bluffs.
Mosquito Creek was named by pioneer settlers (Mormons) for the great number of mosquitoes near this stream when they camped there.[1]
