HERITAGE POND. Located between Dubuque and Sageville to the west of Highway 52, Heritage Pond has been the source of many urban myths. Perhaps the most repeated story was that it was the site of a gravel pit that suddenly flooded--trapping a crane. Fishermen in boats, it was said, often snagged their lines on the tip of the crane.

Brian Preston, Dubuque County Conservation Board executive director, in an article for the Telegraph Herald on January 5, 2011, said there was not a lot of information about the development of the pond. It lies in the Couler Valley, the former channel of the Little Maquoketa River.
