Scattering Fork is a stream in Audrain County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the South Fork of the Salt River which it joins approximately four miles southeast of Mexico.[2]
The headwaters arise in southwest Audrian County at 39°07′23″N 92°01′05″W / 39.12306°N 92.01806°W[1] at an elevation of approximately 890 feet.[3] It flows initially northeast then turns to the east-southeast passing under US Route 54 four miles south of Mexico and on to its confluence with the South Fork[2] at 39°06′29″N 91°51′43″W / 39.10806°N 91.86194°W and an elevation of 751 feet.[1]
Scattering Fork was so named on account of its irregular course.[4]
