From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carney Creek or Carneys Branch is a stream in eastern Barry County in the Ozarks of southwest Missouri.[1]
The stream headwaters are at 36°49′42″N 93°36′52″W / 36.82833°N 93.61444°W and its confluence with Flat Creek is at 36°45′48″N 93°36′13″W / 36.76333°N 93.60361°W.[1] The stream source is just southwest of Wheelerville on Missouri Route 248. It flows to the south-southeast and receives waters from Gum and Carney springs before joining Flat Creek. The stream's flow is intermittent and the confluence is about five and a half miles from its source.[2]
Carney Creek was named after Thomas Carney, a pioneer settler.[3]
