Description
Excerpt from Past and Present of Calhoun County, Iowa, Vol. 1: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement
Lake Creek, the principal tributary Of the Coon River in Calhoun County, derives its name from the fact that it is the outlet Of South Twin Lake. Its upper course is along the boundary between Twin Lakes and Center townships. It next ?ows through the southwestern part Of Center and the northwestern part Of Logan Township and enters Lake Creek Township in section 24. From this point its course is more toward the southwest, crossing the northwest corner Of Cal houn Township and emptying into the Coon River about three miles southwest Of Lake City.
Cedar Creek, the next stream Of importance, has its source in Lincoln Township, a short distance south Of the Town Of Manson. At first it follows a southeasterly direction to the southeast corner Of Lincoln Township, where it turns more to the southward and meanders through Greenfield, Cedar, Reading and Union townships until it enters Greene County.
There is also a Cedar Creek which flows south and southwest across Williams Township. It has two small tributaries - one from the east and the other from the west.
Purgatory Creek rises in Pocahontas County and crosses the northern boundary of Calhoun about two miles east Of the Town Of Pomeroy. After entering the county it ?ows by a rather sinuous course through Sherman and Center townships until it discharges its waters into Lake Creek, about a mile and a half northeast Of Rock well City.
