Do you know of Paint Creek Valley ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Paint Creek Valley. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Paint Creek Valley.<1>

Our sources for Paint Creek Valley (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Paint Creek Valley other than they indicate that Paint Creek Valley would be found somewhere in Allamakee County, Iowa.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1854 and closed  in 1855.
