Geography
Wolf Creek is a left tributary of the Nodaway River, and joins it 7.3 miles after its source and 58.4 miles before its mouth in the Missouri River.[4] The stream begins about a half-mile south of the Iowa-Missouri border and progresses southwesterly towards a point south of Braddyville, Iowa and deposits in the Nodaway River near a large undulation it has a mile south of the Iowa border. Route JJ crosses the creek twice, once soon after its source and the second time right before its confluence, which occurs at the crossing of the Nodaway River by US 71.[5][6]
