Keg Creek

Keg Creek is a stream in Mills, Pottawattamie, Harrison and Shelby counties, in the U.S. state of Iowa. It is a direct tributary of the Missouri River.[1]

Keg Creek was named from the fact bootleggers rolled barrels of whisky in the creek in order to hide them from liquor control agents.[2]
