Jug Run

Jug Run is a stream in Ralls County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Spencer Creek.

The stream headwaters arise just northwest of Missouri Route 19 southwest of Center at 39°29′16″N 91°35′08″W / 39.48778°N 91.58556°W / 39.48778; -91.58556[1] at an elevation of approximately 740 Feet.[2] The stream flows to the east-northeast passing under Route 19 and turns to the southeast as it passes just south of Center. The stream confluence with Spencer Creek is about two miles east-northeast of Madisonville and one-half mile from the Ralls-Pike county line.[3] The confluence is at 39°28′11″N 91°28′30″W / 39.46972°N 91.47500°W / 39.46972; -91.47500 at an elevation of 554 feet.[1]

Jug Run was so named for the fact customers carried jugs to a whiskey dealer near the creek.[4]
