Greasy Creek (Niangua River tributary)

Greasy Creek is a stream in Dallas and Webster counties the Ozarks of southwest Missouri.

[1] The source waters of the stream arise in northwest Webster County west of Elkland.

The stream flows north into Dallas County, turns northwest and crosses under Missouri Route 38 west of March and east of Redtop.

[2] Greasy Creek was named due to the presence of oil or grease in the water.

The oily nature reportedly was the result of an early spill of bacon or ham into the water.
