Crooked Creek (Bear Creek tributary)

Crooked Creek is a stream in Ralls County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Bear Creek.[2]

The stream headwaters arise east of Missouri Route HH at 39°40′00″N 91°28′59″W[1] at an elevation of approximately 735 feet. The stream flows east crossing under Route HH and then turns to the north again passing under Route HH. It continues to the north-northeast to its confluence with Bear Creek less than 500 feet south of the Ralls-Marion county line[2] at 39°41′02″N 91°26′41″W and an elevation of 551 feet.[1]

Crooked Creek was so named on account of frequent meanders on its course.[3]
