2018 Map of Honey Creek

About this map

Honey Creek and Crescent anchor this study of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage of Pigeon Creek and its various tributaries. The map reveals a dense network of family and local history markers, particularly through its high concentration of small cemeteries. Genealogists can trace burial sites such as Saint Bridgett Cem, Branson Cem, and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem that are scattered across the township lines of T77N and T76N. The topography is etched by Simon Run and N Pigeon Cr, showing how the Loess Hills terrain influenced the placement of local roads like Sumac Rd and Whippoorwill Rd. This documentation provides a clear view of rural Iowa land divisions and the persistent local identities maintained through these small community centers and rural landmarks.
