Greasy Creek (McKenzie Creek tributary)
Greasy Creek is a stream in Wayne County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of McKenzie Creek.
The stream headwaters arise at 37°13′46″N 90°41′08″W / 37.22944°N 90.68556°Wand the stream flows generally south to its confluence with McKenzie Creek at 37°11′19″N 90°41′50″W / 37.18861°N 90.69722°W at an elevation of 607 feet (185 m).[1] The stream mouth is about two miles north of Piedmont. An area in the upper reaches of the stream is impounded as Dover Lake.[2]
Greasy Creek most likely was so named on account of the often muddy character of its water.[3]
