This is what’s left of the Honey Creek Cut, in public view anyway. At the time, it was much deeper and considered a notable work of engineering. However, the cut was bypassed by the end of the 1920s. You can see a bit of the loess soil near the top center of the picture.<\/p>\n

The remnants of the cut can be reached via the recently opened Hitchcock Nature Area RV campground. To the northwest, plainly visible from the air but not accessible, are two telegraph\/telephone poles.<\/a><\/p>\n

With that, I’ve shown a little something of or about the Lincoln Highway in every county the route goes through. I took hundreds of pictures over the course of 3\u00bd days, capturing as many aspects as I could of the historic road at its centennial.
