James River (Missouri)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The James River is a river in southern Missouri. Its source is near the town of Diggins in Webster County. It begins on a northwesterly course, then turns southwest near Northview and passes near Springfield. From Springfield, it flows south to Galena where it becomes an arm of Table Rock Lake, a reservoir on the White River which is the emptying point for the river.

James River is a water source for the city of Springfield, and James River Freeway on the city's south side is named for it.
