Macks Creek (Little Niangua River tributary)
Macks Creek is a stream in Dallas and Camden counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Little Niangua River.
The stream headwaters arise in northern Dallas County at 37°53′39″N 92°58′51″W at an elevation of 1090 ft.[2] The stream flows north into Camden County through Black Hollow and turns west after crossing under U.S. Route 54 at the community of Macks Creek.[2] The stream flows northwest and north to its confluence with the Little Niangua River at 38°00′57″N 93°00′48″W at an elevation of 725 feet.[1][3]
The stream and community most likely was named after the local Mack or Hack family of early settlers in the area.[4]
