Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams. A common index would aid in the coordination of various stream-related activities by facilitating data collection and interpretation.

  • Draft River Stages in Illinois: Flood and Damage Data
    State of Illinois Pat Quinn Department of Natural Resources Marc Miller, Director Draft River Stages In Illinois: Flood and Damage Data August 2009 Illinois Department of Natural Resources Office of Water Resources INTRODUCTION There are hundreds of river gages that measure the stages of rivers throughout Illinois. These gages range from simple yardsticks, which must be read visually, to sophisticated recording devices which monitor numerous parameters with the data collected being transmitted by telephone or satellite communication link. These gages were set up at various times during the last 100 years. When each was established, an arbitrary starting point or "stage datum" was set up. The height of the river above this starting point was recorded as the river stage. In many cases, a "flood stage" was also established. Typically, this would be the level where the river goes out of its banks. There are two commonly misunderstood points about river stages. First, there is generally no relation between a river stage for one gage and that for another one on the same river. Second, there is often no correlation between flood stage and actual structural flood damages. Often, especially in a rural area, a river will go out of banks but floods only vacant ground. This manual is an accumulation of flood information for a small portion of the gages in Illinois. The manual lists the stages of past floods, the dates of occurrence, and damages known to occur. The gages are arranged in this manual alphabetically by river and from upstream to downstream along a river. Each gage has two or more pages of information.

We are a city of rich heritage and charm whose citizens are welcoming to all. The residents of Morrison have a long history of voluntarism to the community and their neighbors. We are extremely proud of our schools that have long been recognized as one of the best small school systems in the state.

This is due not only to our modern facilities, dedicated teachers and staff, but also to the involvement of interested parents. In addition to our schools, we have a very modern library and community room.

As you travel to and around Morrison, you will see one of the oldest mills in the state on the west end of town.
