Village Creek (Allamakee County, Iowa) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Village Creek (Allamakee County, Iowa)
Village Creek is a minor tributary of the Upper Mississippi River, rising and exiting in Allamakee County, Iowa. The headwaters are just north of Waukon, and about 2.5 miles east of there, it enters a canyon bounded by limestone cliffs. Numerous small springs feed the creek as it flows through Lafayette and Center Townships. By the time the creek reaches the Mississippi, the bluffs rise 400 feet above the water.〔Samuel Calvin, Drainage, Geology of Allamakee County, (Third Annual Report, 1894 ), Iowa Geological Survey, 1895; page 50.〕 Paint Creek enters the Navigation Pool 9 of the Mississippi a few miles downstream of the Black Hawk Bridge. The catchment contains some farmland, but the area is mostly forested. In recent years, it has seen residential development on large country lots and locally, "Village Creek" is used for the district. ==See also==
