The stream headwaters arise in Daviess County approximately 1.5 miles northeast of Jamesport adjacent to Missouri Route 6. The stream flows to the northeast and north parallel to the county line and turns to the southeast as it enters Grundy County. It flows past the community of Hickory Creek and enters the Thompson River about one mile north of the Grundy-Livingston county line.[2] The headwaters are at 39°59′25″N 93°47′21″W / 39.99028°N 93.78917°W / 39.99028; -93.78917 and the confluence with the Thompson is at 39°59′25″N 93°37′21″W / 39.99028°N 93.62250°W / 39.99028; -93.62250.[1]
