There are a large number of streets in Iowa named Mormon Trail or Mormon Trail Road since the streets follow the original path of the saints.

Mormon Island, announced on I-80 road signs as one may turn north toward Grand Island, Nebraska, signals the park that was once a resting place for pioneers as the meandering Platte River turned west.

And then, there was the settlement of "Lehi," in Arizona, next to the Salt River. The settlement of LDS later moved upon to the "Mesa," after they discovered an ancient canal system that allowed them to water the mesa or tableland by going up the Salt River to a point that allow the irrigation water to naturally water the tableland. There is also "Snowflake<" named after the Snows and the Flakes, the first settlers in that part of Arizona. It also included the descendants of Aurelia Rogers, the former General Primary President of the Church.

Just thought you'd like to know there are many other "Mormon" locations in the west with a lot of LDS history attached.

There is a Mormon Hollow Road between Corning and Watkins Glenn New York. I believe its Steuben County.
