This is another original section of the old Lincoln Highway from 1913 that is now part of County Road E53.
 It runs through 3.6 miles (5.8 km) of rolling farmland, and through the Raccoon River Valley.
 There are 11 contributing resources to this historic district, 10 structures and one site.
 The roadway is one structure broken into three segments.
 The first segment is a 1.4-mile (2.3 km) section on the west side of the district.
 It was paved in 1924 by Empire Construction.
 The second segment is a 1.3-mile (2.1 km) section on the east and west sides of the Eureka Bridge.
 It includes Danger Hill where the grade was reduced considerably in 1920 and a jog in the highway was replaced with a curve.
 The C.C. Barnes Company completed the work.
 Empire Construction also paved this section in 1924.
 The third segment is a 0.9-mile (1.4 km) section on the east side of the district.
 It was one of the first sections of the Lincoln Highway paved in Greene County in 1920.
 The work was completed by F.E. Marsh Company of Jefferson, Iowa.
 The Eureka Bridge is a five-span reinforced concrete arch bridge.
Each span is 77 feet (23 m) wide with an overall length of 422 feet (129 m).
It replaced an earlier span that was partially washed out by a flood in 1912.
 Marsh Engineering Company of Des Moines constructed the bridge that was designed by the Iowa Highway Commission.
 It is one of the earliest arch bridges still standing in Iowa, and one of the first designed by the state highway commission.
 Because of increased traffic on the span it had to be widened in 1924.
 Other historic structures include the road drainage system, six culverts, and one cattle pass.
 The site is 600 feet (180 m) of abandoned roadway at the top of Danger Hill.
 This section of roadway appears not to have been paved, and it includes one of the culverts.
