Isle du Bois Creek (Missouri)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isle du Bois Creek is a stream in Jefferson and Ste. Genevieve counties of the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Mississippi River.[2]

The stream headwaters arise at 38°05′24″N 90°20′27″W / 38.09000°N 90.34083°W / 38.09000; -90.34083 in southern Jefferson County and it flows to the east-northeast for approximately one-half mile. At this point it becomes the boundary between the two counties and meanders to the east and northeast. The stream passes under I-55 and US Route 61 approximately 1.5 miles south of the community of Danby. The stream continues on to the east-northeast to its confluence with the Mississippi at the south end of Rush Island at 38°06′01″N 90°13′56″W / 38.10028°N 90.23222°W / 38.10028; -90.23222.[2][1]

Isle du Bois is a name derived from the French denoting "isle of the woods".[3]
