Coon Creek is a stream in Miller County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Osage River.
The stream headwaters arise along the south side of Missouri Route A about one mile east of that roads intersection with Missouri Route 17. The stream flows northeast passing under Route A then turns north-northwest to pass under Missouri Route 52 and enters the Osage about three miles northeast (downstream) of Tuscumbia.[2]
The headwaters are at: 38°11′22″N 92°23′44″W / 38.18944°N 92.39556°W[1] and an elevation of about 820 ft (250 m).[2] The confluence with the Osage is at: 38°15′56″N 92°25′03″W / 38.26556°N 92.41750°W at an elevation of 558 ft (170 m).[1]
Coon Creek was so named due to the presence of raccoons near its course.[3]
