Mosquito Creek (Iowa)
Mosquito Creek, about 60 mi. long, is a tributary of the Missouri River in southwest Iowa in the United States. It rises near Earling, in Shelby County, and flows in a generally southwesterly direction, meeting the Missouri approximately 5 mi. downstream of Council Bluffs.
Mosquito Creek was named by pioneer settlers for the great number of mosquitoes near this stream when they camped there.
