Hi Bionic.  My grandparents owned a farm on Derby Rd, Van Burenville was a stone throw away. I spent summers and hunted our farm when I was a kid. I have not been there since 1973, my family sold the farm around the mid 80's. Do you know what is happening on Derby Rd? Do you kno w Masonic Creek?

I grew up in Howells, so i am pretty familiar with the area, but I have not heard of the Masonic creek.  Also, all kidding aside, is this an actual creek, or a temple of some sorts? I ask because their are a lot of random temples popping up in the area.

Actual Creek.

I am familiar with the creek actually now that I see a map
