West Fork One Hundred and Two River is a stream in the U.S. states of Iowa and Missouri.[3] It is a tributary of the One Hundred and Two River and is 40.8 miles (65.7 km) long,[1] which makes it its longest tributary.
The West Fork One Hundred and Two River rises a few miles east of Corning in Adams County, Iowa and travels southwesterly in a course towards the county line with Taylor County, Iowa. Then it begins to travel more southerly and joins with its largest tributary, West Branch, two miles southeast of New Market. Continuing south, the river travels towards Missouri and combines with the Middle Fork One Hundred and Two River a few miles into Missouri west of Hopkins.
There are 5 named tributaries of the West Fork One Hundred and Two River: West Branch, Middle Branch, Lonzo Creek, Willow Creek, and Rose Branch.[1]
