The North River rises northeast of Casey in southern Guthrie County and flows generally eastwardly through Adair, Madison and Warren counties, past Carlisle, into southeastern Polk County,[4] where it joins the Des Moines River 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Des Moines.[5]

In Madison County, it collects a short tributary known as the North Branch North River.[6]
