The Mill Creek Bridge is located north of Cherokee, Iowa, United States. It spans Mill Creek for 207 feet (63 m).[2] On June 24, 1891, a disastrous flood along the Little Sioux River and its tributaries wiped out nearly every bridge in Cherokee County. The following month the county board of supervisors signed a contract with the George E. King Bridge Co. of Des Moines for 17,650 to replace the bridges.[2] This Pratt truss bridge was fabricated by the King Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio. It and a similar span over Mill Creek near Larrabee are the only two that remain. This bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] A modern concrete span, built just upstream in 2006, now carries the road.[3] The old bridge is closed to vehicular traffic.
