Ditch Creek is a stream in Washington and Jefferson counties, Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Big River.
The source is located within a mine tailings pond in northeastern Washington County approximately one mile northeast of Richwoods at 38°10′23″N 90°48′46″W. The stream flows to the northeast into western Jefferson County to its confluence with Big River at 38°13′46″N 90°44′19″W.[1][2]
The creek most likely took its name from a nearby lead mine situated in a ditch.[3]
