Peach Creek (Grindstone Creek tributary)
Peach Creek is a stream in southeast DeKalb County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Grindstone Creek.
The stream headwaters arise approximately three miles east-southeast of Maysville adjacent to Missouri Route C at 39°53′10″N 94°18′46″W / 39.8861111°N 94.3127288°W. The stream flows generally southeast for about three miles to its confluence with Grindstone Creek two miles northeast of the community of Fordham at 39°51′25″N 94°15′23″W / 39.856946°N 94.256338°W.[1][2]
Peach Creek most likely was so named due to the presence of nearby peach trees.[3]
