Cedar Creek?
Actually Cedar Creek is a glacial river that drained from under glacial ice fields further upstream.
Linked to here below is an article written by the State of Iowa Geologist in the 19th century about the geologic landscaping of Iowa. It is an essay about the 'how and the why' of Iowa land forms as we see them now, like the Cedar Creek Valley. Published originally in the Annals of Iowa as "Pleistocene Iowa" by Samuel Calvin. Now in a Google digital book.
