It flows under Arkansas Highway 27 just south of Onyx and then parallel to Arkansas Highway 314 past Steve and Hollis. It passes under Arkansas Route 7 and flows north and east to its confluence with the Fourche La Fave River east of Nimrod (at 34°57′14″N 93°01′57″W / 34.95389°N 93.03250°W / 34.95389; -93.03250).[1][2]
