Brushy Fork (Tavern Creek tributary)

Brushy Fork is a stream in Miller County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Tavern Creek.[2]

The stream headwaters arise just north of Missouri Route 42 about two miles northeast of Brumley at 38°05′54″N 92°27′16″W and an elevation of about 950 feet.[1][3] The stream flows to the northeast passing between the communities of Ulman and Watkins and under Missouri Route 17 to its confluence with Tavern Creek[4][2] at 38°10′03″N 92°19′37″W.[1]

Brushy Fork was so named due to the abundance of brush along its course.[5]
