Knob Creek (Stouts Creek tributary)

Knob Creek is a stream in Iron and St. Francois counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Stouts Creek.

The stream headwaters arise on the west flank of Oak Mountain at an elevation of 1400 feet. The stream flows west-southwest to enter the adjacent valley near Lopez about one mile south of Middlebrook in the southwest corner of St. Francois County. The stream enters Iron County and turns south-southeast and flows past Pilot Knob and Ironton to its confluence with Stouts Creek.[2]

The source area is at 37°39′14″N 90°37′59″W / 37.65389°N 90.63306°W / 37.65389; -90.63306 and the confluence is at 37°36′01″N 90°36′51″W / 37.60028°N 90.61417°W / 37.60028; -90.61417.[1]
