The Village of Hartford was founded nearly 100 years after Lewis & Clark arrived in the area. In 1910, there were only six houses in Hartford with two railroads used for conveying materials to and from the Mississippi River. In its beginnings, Hartford was known as a rail, river and commercial community, and it remains an industrial center today. P Lewis & Clark State Historic Site O 1 ST Reliving History On December 12, 1803, with a clear view of the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, Captains William Clark and Meri- wether Lewis established the Camp River Dubois. For five months, they wintered at the camp and trained the men for the journey. On May 14, 1804, under Clark’s command, the journey westward LOCATION: began, and the “mouth of the River Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center #1 Lewis & Clark Trail, Hartford Dubois was to be considered the (618) 251-5811 point of departure.” The expedition www.CampDubois.com set out on the Missouri River, met N 38° 48.138’, W 90° 6.126’ Captain Lewis in St. Charles, and the rest is history. The Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center has been designated as National Trail Site #1 on the Lewis & Clark Trail. This 14,000 square foot facility is dedicated to telling the story of Lewis and Clark in Illinois at Camp River Dubois. The museum consists of six exhibit galleries, a theater, a full-scale 55-foot “cutaway keelboat” and a fortified encampment. 8 | GreatRiversByway.com P Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower O 2 ST Gateway to the Byway The Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower stands in honor of the Lewis & Clark expedition and the men who courageously set out to discover our nation’s uncharted lands.

The popularity of the automobile changed the face of Wood River with the opening of the Standard Oil Refinery in 1907. As workers flooded into the area, Wood River went from a town with a few scattered farmhouses to one of the fastest growing communities in the country. By the 1920s, housing was desperately needed, and Standard Oil purchased Sears & Roebuck catalog homes, many of which still remain today as a reminder of this era of prosperity and progress. 10 | GreatRiversByway.com HISTORIC POINTS OF INTEREST Wood River Massacre In 1814, the relationship between the early settlers and the Native Americans was that of a state of war. In order to protect settlers from attacks, the people of Madison County organized a company of soldiers called the “Rangers.” Even under the watch of the Rangers, LOCATION: the attacks did not stop. One such Wood River Museum & Visitor Center attack, the Wood River Massacre, left 40 W. Ferguson Ave., Wood River an indelible impression on settlers (618) 254-1993 and is still remembered today. N 38° 51.656’, W 90° 05.933’ On July 10, 1814, Mrs. Reason and her two children, along with her sister Abel Moore’s two children and two of William Moore’s children were on their way to the Reagan farm to pick green beans. Halfway between the Moore farm and the Reagan farm, the Native Americans attacked the small group and left them to die. The Rangers were called out and all but one of the Native Americans was found. The bodies of the victims were taken to Vaughn Cemetery and a monument to the victims still stands today at the site of the massacre on Foster- burg Road near Alton.

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.

  • CHAPTER 2. Hazard Profiles and Loss Estimation
    CHAPTER 2. Hazard Profiles and Loss Estimation Following the guidance provided in FEMA’s mitigation planning how-to guide, Understanding Your Risks: Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses (FEMA 386-2), the Jersey County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team initially reviewed local records and existing mitigation plans, conducted informal interviews with local experts from the public and private sectors – including emergency responders and individuals at institutions of higher education – and researched data available on state and federal Websites to ascertain the natural hazards that posed any potential risk to Jersey County. This initial stage of research indicated that additional research should be conducted on the following hazards: earthquakes, extreme heat, floods, hailstorms, land subsidence, severe winter storms, tornadoes, wildfires, and windstorms. Of these hazards, the following were deemed the most prevalent: earthquakes, floods, severe thunderstorms (a category that encompasses hailstorms and windstorms), severe winter storms and tornadoes. These natural hazards and their potential impact on the county are profiled in detail in this chapter. Justification for the exclusion of extreme heat, land subsidence and wildfires from this more detailed profile is provided in a concluding section at the end of this chapter. 2.1 Earthquakes General Information about Earthquakes For hundreds of millions of years, the forces of plate tectonics have shaped the Earth as plates move slowly over, under, and past each other. Most of the time, this movement is gradual. However, sometimes the plates lock together, creating tension. When the accumulated energy grows strong enough, the plates break free, causing the ground to shake. This sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth’s surface is an earthquake.1 Shaking from earthquakes can collapse buildings and bridges, disrupt gas, electric, and phone services, or trigger landslides, avalanches, or fires.
