Blackwater River (Missouri)
- Blackwater River (Missouri)
The Blackwater River is a tributary of the Lamine River, about 55 miles (90 km) long, in west-central Missouri in the United States. Via the Lamine and Missouri Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.
Course
The Blackwater River is formed by short north and south forks in Johnson County about 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Warrensburg and flows generally east-northeastwardly through Johnson, Pettis, Saline and Cooper Counties, past the towns of Sweet Springs and Blackwater. It flows into the Lamine River in northwestern Cooper County, about 4 miles (6 km) southeast of Blackwater.
Several sections of the river's upper course have been straightened and channelized.
