SUGAR CREEK THEN AND NOW.

I took the back road out of Charlotte on my way home.  It took me a while to figure out just where I was. 


But the rugged terrine said driftless region.  
The Joseph’s Church Sugar Creek 1855 - 1980 must have been some construction project back in the day.
Starting with a small church that they built for $1,500 and followed by a small school about 50  years later for around $6,000.

 The look of the stream has changed but it still has a good head of water rolling through these valleys, on its way down to the Wapsi.

 Here's a great looking homested which sits in this broad valley.









Looks like a stream that would produce a few small mouth.
