2010 Map of Honey Creek

About this map

Pigeon and the settlement of Reels anchor this 2010 topographic record of Pottawattamie County, Iowa. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Honey Creek, Pigeon Creek, and North Pigeon Creek, which carve through the loess hills of the Missouri River valley. The area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Branson Cemetery, Saint Bridgett Cemetery, and Reels Cemetery, providing a wealth of information for those tracing regional genealogy. At the southern end of the quadrangle, the terrain drops toward the Missouri River floodplain near the Mount Crescent Ski Area, a rare example of recreational topography in the region. The map also captures modern infrastructure, such as the Loveland East Bound Rest Area and a dense grid of rural roads like Whippoorwill Rd and Ski Hill Loop.
