The stream headwaters are approximately four miles west of Rolla at 37.95806°N, -91.8525°W. The stream flows west passing north of Doolittle then turns north and on to its confluence with the Gasconade on the Phelps-Maries county line at 38.03556°N, -91.92333°W.

Tick Creek most likely was so named due to the reported abundance of ticks in the area.
