Long Branch (Platte River tributary)
Appearance
Long Branch is a stream in eastern Nodaway County, Missouri, in the United States.[1] It is a tributary of the Platte River and is 31.2 miles long.[2]
The stream begins just west of Gaynor and flows almost exactly south for most of its course. No settlements are located along the stream, but it is crossed US Route 136 approximately halfway through its course.
There is one named tributary named Cottonwood Creek located in the southern part of the stream's course between Barnard and Arkoe.
There is a cemetery in Independence Township, located just west of Gaynor near the stream's headwaters, named Long Branch Cemetery.
