Fowler Creek

Fowler Creek is a stream in Boone County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Cedar Creek,[2] which in turn is a tributary of the Missouri River.

For the stream in California, see Carriger Creek (Sonoma County, California).

The stream headwaters arise just east of the Columbia regional airport[3] at 38°48′49″N 92°12′57″W.[1] It flows generally south passing through a portion of eastern eastern Boone County and enters Cedar Creek at the Callaway County line[2] at 38°42′47″N 92°13′01″W.[1]

It is named after the local Fowler family.[4]
