2015 Map of Honey Creek

About this map

Crescent and the unincorporated community of Honey Creek anchor this section of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Pigeon Creek and Honey Creek, which cut through the undulating Loess Hills terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally dense with burial grounds, including Saint Bridgett Cemetery and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cemetery, alongside smaller family or church plots such as Branson Cemetery, Crook Cemetery, and McIntosh Cemetery. Transport routes like the Old Lincoln Highway trace the historic corridors of the region, while modern residential development is evident through named roads like Whippoorwill Road and Ski Hill Loop. This survey provides a precise record of the enduring rural cemeteries and evolving rural-suburban interface of the Missouri River bluff country.
