The Pomme de Terre River is formed in
Greene County in the
Ozarks by the confluence of its short north and south forks, which rise in
Webster and Greene counties, respectively. The river flows generally northward through
Dallas,
Polk,
Hickory and
Benton counties, past the town of
Hermitage. In Polk County it collects the short
Little Pomme de Terre River, which rises in Greene County and flows generally northwestwardly. In Hickory County a
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dam causes the river to form
Pomme de Terre Lake. It enters the Osage River as an arm of
Truman Lake, which is formed by a dam on the Osage. ==See also==
