Todd Creek is a stream in Platte County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[3] It is a tributary of the Little Platte River and is 11.9 miles (19.2 km) long.[1]
Todd Creek has the name of Joseph Todd, a pioneer settler.[4]
The headwaters for this stream are at the Berlin Reservoir at the Kansas City International Airport, and the stream flows northeasterly into the Little Platte River. There is one named tributary of this stream called Wildcat Branch. The city of Ferrelview
lies squarely in the middle of the Wildcat Branch watershed.[5]
