Breeden Creek is a stream in western Douglas County in the Ozarks of south central Missouri.[1] The stream is a tributary to Little Beaver Creek.[2]
The stream headwaters arise at 36°58′01″N 92°50′58″W / 36.96694°N 92.84944°W[1] at an elevation of approximately 1300 feet.[2] The headwaters are on the south flank of Keyger Mountain which rises to a peak elevation of over 1660 feet just one-half mile from source.[2] The stream flows generally south to its confluence with Little Beaver at 36°56′23″N 92°50′42″W / 36.93972°N 92.84500°W at an elevation of 1099 feet.[1] The stream confluence lies approximately one quarter mile northwest of the community of Pansy at the end of Missouri Route NN.[2]
The stream along with the old Breeden School that was adjacent to it bears the name of a local family in the area.[3][4]
