Whites Creek is an Ozark stream in Douglas County, Missouri. It is a tributary of Hunter Creek.
The headwaters are at an elevation of about 1,250 feet[1] and the mouth is at an elevation of 863 feet.
Whites Creek begins as a south flowing stream on the south side of Table Rock Knob just southeast of Ava and flows south for a short distance before turning east. The stream runs parallel to Missouri Route 14 and is bridged where the road turns south. Hoffmeister Spring emerges from a bluff along the north side of the stream a few hundred yards east of the bridge at 36.9142°N -92.5533°W and an elevation of 892 feet.[2] [3]
Whites Creek has the name of a pioneer citizen with the surname White.[4]
