The stream headwaters arise in northeastern DeKalb County just south of the DeKalb-Gentry county line at 40°01′45″N 94°16′48″W / 40.0291662°N 94.2799533°W / 40.0291662; -94.2799533.[1] The stream flows south and then east passing one mile north of Santa Rosa as it enters Daviess County. The stream flows east and then turns northeast to enter the Grand River approximately two miles south-southwest of Pattonsburg[2] at 40°01′13″N 94°09′01″W / 40.02015°N 94.15028°W / 40.02015; -94.15028.[1]
