• After the 1913 flood, most of Zuck’s buildings were either destroyed or damaged too badly for further occupation. The residents decided to abandon the town and rebuild their houses elsewhere.

  • Zuck once featured a low dam to collect water to power the gristmill seen in this vintage postcard image. The mill survived the 1913 flood, but was abandoned with the rest of the town soon after that.

  • The dam across Owl Creek at Zuck. It was on these bluffs over the river that townspeople gathered in 1913 to watch flood waters destroy their community.

  • This image of the dam and the bluffs on the south side of the river show that the hills were much less tree-covered a century ago.

  • In this photo taken last summer, nothing of Zuck is now visible on what was once the main street running the length of town.

  • This photo from 2018 shows that the hills have become overgrown, obscuring the surviving stonework.

  • Zuck was a sleepy country village early in the 20th century, as seen in this postcard from 1908.
