Threemile Creek is a stream in northern Crawford and Franklin counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary to the Little Bourbeuse River.[2]
The stream headwaters are in northern Crawford County at 38°08′36″N 91°23′14″W / 38.14333°N 91.38722°W and the confluence with the Little Bourbeuse is in the southwestern corner of Franklin County at 38°12′56″N 91°21′28″W / 38.21556°N 91.35778°W.[1] The southeastern corner of Gasconade County is within the stream floodplain about 50 feet from the stream channel.[2] The elevation at the stream confluence is 732 feet[1] and the elevation of the source is at about 980 feet.[3]
Threemile Creek most likely was descriptively named on account of an estimate of its length.[4]
