Verified Butte Creek is the streaam from Google satellite view and made correction. Surprising as I seem to recall the World Guide to Covered Bridges said "Honey Run" and "run" is a southernism for creek. Go figure

Overview is incorrect. Bridge is over Butte Creek, not honey run. Needs correcting by someone who has edit capabilities
