Beaverdam Creek is a stream in Butler and Ripley counties in the Ozarks of southern Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Little Black River.
The stream headwaters arise in northeastern Ripley County at the confluence of North Prong and West Prong creeks at 36°45′55″N 90°39′05″W and an elevation of about 435 feet.[1][2] The stream flows to the south and east entering Butler County about one mile southeast of the headwaters and about two miles southwest of the community of Milltown.[2][3] The stream meanders to the southeast for about five miles to its confluence with the Little Black River at 36°41′32″N 90°34′14″W and an elevation of 315 feet.[1][4] The confluence is about two miles north of the US Route 160 crossing of the Little Black and about three miles northeast of the community of Fairdealing.[4] Poplar Bluff lies about nine miles east-northeast of the confluence.[5]
Beaverdam Creek was so named on account of beaver dams on its course.[6]
