Blue Shawnee Creek
Blue Shawnee Creek is a stream located in Cape Girardeau County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The Blue Shawnee and the Muddy Shawnee Creek merge to form the Shawnee Creek.[2]
The stream headwaters arise about one mile south of Pocahontas (at 37°29′31″N 89°38′59″W / 37.49194°N 89.64972°W[1]) and the stream flows north-northeast past Pocahontas for about five miles to its merger with the Muddy Shawnee about one-half mile north of the community of New Wells.[2]
Blue Shawnee Creek is named for the main stream of which this creek is a branch, and "blue" indicates the clarity of the water, reflecting the sky.[3]
