Lincoln Creek is a stream in western Andrew County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Nodaway River and is 13.8 miles long.[2]
History
Lincoln Creek was named after John Lincoln, a member of the Lincoln family who was the proprietor of a local gristmill.[4]
Geography
Lincoln Creek is a left tributary of the Nodaway River and joins it 10.2 miles before its mouth in the Missouri River.[3] There are no communities in the Lincoln Creek watershed though Fillmore is close by, being about 2.5 miles northeast of its mouth, and has a permitted wastewater treatment facility that flows into Lincoln Creek.[2]
Crossings
There are two highways that cross Lincoln Creek: US-59 and Route H. The bridge for Route H was completed in 1966.[5]
