Beaver Creek is a river in the states of Kansas and Nebraska. It begins north-northeast of Goodland, Kansas and flows into Sappa Creek West of Orleans, Nebraska.

History

On June 28, 1989, roughly 9 inches (23 cm) of rain fell in Sherman and Cheyenne counties in Kansas. KDOT had to close a 0.5-mile (0.80 km) section of K-117 by Herndon due to high water from the Beaver River flooding.
