Shoal Creek is a stream in Appanoose and Wayne counties of Iowa and Putnam County, Missouri, United States.[1] It is a tributary of the Chariton River.
Prior to channeling of the Chariton the confluence was approximately two miles south of the community of Livonia and on the Putnam-Schuyler county line. The channeling moved the Chariton approximately three-quarter mile to the east resulting in the current confluence being within western Schuyler County.[2]
Shoal Creek was so named on account of its shallow depth.[3]
