The stream confluence with Spencer Creek is about two miles east-northeast of Madisonville and one-half mile from the Ralls-Pike county line.[3] The confluence is at 39°28′11″N 91°28′30″W / 39.46972°N 91.47500°W at an elevation of 554 feet.[1]
Jug Run was so named for the fact customers carried jugs to a whiskey dealer near the creek.[4]
