Possum Trot Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Possum Trot Creek is a stream in Crawford and Iron counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Huzzah Creek.
The stream headwaters arise in the northwest corner of Iron County just northwest of Viburnum (at 37°43′17″N 91°08′18″W / 37.72139°N 91.13833°W) and the stream flows northwest to its confluence with Huzzah Creek in Crawford County (at 37°45′56″N 91°10′25″W / 37.76556°N 91.17361°W).[1][2] Mill Rock Creek enters the Huzzah just downstream from Possum Trot Creek.[2]
Possum Trot Creek, also called Possum Creek, was named for the fact it was a favorite hunting ground of opossums by early settlers.[3]
