Ottery Creek

Ottery Creek is a stream in Iron and Reynolds counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary to the Middle Fork Black River.

The headwaters arise in Iron County at 37°40′11″N 90°51′16″W and the confluence with Middle Fork in Reynolds County is at 37°34′51″N 90°56′14″W.[1] The source area is just south of Johnson Mountain and the stream flows south-southwest passing under Missouri Route 32 and parallels Missouri Route A through Bell Mountain Wilderness to pass under Missouri Route 49 south of Edgehill and join the Middle Fork.[2]

Ottery Creek derives its name from John Autrey, a pioneer citizen.[3]
