The source area lies just east of Missouri Route 46 and the stream flows southwest into southeastern Worth County passing southeast of the community of Allendale.[2] The confluence with the East Fork is one mile north of Denver[2] at 40°24′56″N 94°19′42″W / 40.41556°N 94.32833°W at an elevation of 896 feet.[1]
Big Rock Creek was so named on account of the rocky character of its watercourse.[3]
