notes: Incorrectly listed in one list as a branch. Pottawattamie was essentially a stake, with a presidency and high council governing several branches (and a single high priest quorum), but it is only called a stake once (and that fleetingly) in the records. High Councillors frequently served simultaneously in presidencies and bishoprics of central branches (esp. Blockhouse and Council<br/>Point). Although its direct control is generally southwestern Iowa, at times it appears to have some jurisdiction over distant branches in St. Louis and even the East Coast; this may only be a direct jurisdiction of Elder Hyde as one of the Twelve. Until a county government was created (and large numbers of non-mormons began to move in), they also appear to have governance over civic affairs, including things like roads, liquor licenses, and ferry rights.
