Casey Creek has its headwaters in the north-central part of the village and flows southward through the village center. It is a tributary of the Big Muddy River, which runs south to the Mississippi River north of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The northwest part of the village drains to Raccoon Creek, a west-flowing tributary of Crooked Creek and part of the Kaskaskia River watershed flowing to the Mississippi near Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. The divide between the Casey Creek/Big Muddy Basin and the Kaskaskia Basin is about 1,000 feet (300 m) west of town, over a rise that is barely noticeable. The eastern part of the village drains to Horse Creek, a southeast-flowing tributary of the Skillet Fork of the Little Wabash River, part of the Ohio River watershed, which flows to the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois. The divide between the Ohio River watershed and the other tributaries of the Mississippi is within the village limits just east of the village center. The village water tower sits atop this prominent ridge.
