History

Its original name was Rain Creek [4] [5] [6] [7] (or Rains Creek [8] [9] ) but the name Jenkins Creek first appeared on a 1926 USGS map. [10] The last recorded use of Rain Creek was in a 1930 plat map. [11]

Geography

Jenkins Creek is a left tributary of the Nodaway River and joins it 25.3 miles before its mouth in the Missouri River. [3] There are no communities in its watershed. It is the last notable tributary of the Nodaway River in Nodaway County.

Course

It begins about 6 miles southwest of Maryville, then travels south-southwest for over five miles until it is due east of Graham. Jenkins Creek then begins a more west-southwest direction where it is met with some bluffs on its southern side before it joins the Nodaway River about 2.5 miles southeast of Maitland.

Tributaries

There are two tributaries of this stream named: East Fork Jenkins Creek and Coal Creek

Crossings

Three highways cross Jenkins Creek: Route A, Route H, and Route Y.

Miscellaneous

Dozens of wind turbines of the White Cloud Wind Farm are located in the northern portion of the Jenkins Creek watershed. [12]
