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.

[1] Paint Creek enters the Navigation Pool 9 of the Mississippi a few miles downstream of the Black Hawk Bridge.

In recent years, it has seen residential development on large country lots and locally, "Village Creek" is used for the district.
