Finley Creek is a stream in the Ozarks of southern Missouri.[1][2] The headwaters of the Finley are in Webster County southeast of Seymour. The stream flows west-southwest into Christian County, through Ozark and into the northeast corner of Stone County to its confluence with the James River at the old townsite of Jamesville.[2] The Finley is bridged by Missouri Route 125 at Linden, Missouri Route 14 and US Route 65 in Ozark, and US Route 160 southwest of the old Riverdale dam.[2][3]
Some say Finley Creek was named after John Finley, a companion of Daniel Boone, while others believe the creek has the name of James Finley, an early hunter.[4]
