BENTON COUNTY

Lincoln Highway County Consul (1924): O.C. Borrows

"The creek was now completely out of bounds, swollen by the repeated heavy storms.  I didn't wade in very far, just far enough to make certain we couldn't go on at the present.  As morning dawned about four, we noticed a decided abatement of the water and could distinguish continuous road ahead, furrowed as it still was with countless rivulets."

- Alice Hyler Ramsey, 1908, on Weasel Creek
