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.

  • U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration
    U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Girard Siding and Track Construction Project Milepost (MP) 205.75 to MP 214.52, Macoupin County, Illinois June 2013 Introduction: The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) proposes to undertake construction of a siding track along the mainline service line of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and various track improvements between Milepost (MP) 205.75 to MP 214.52 in Macoupin County (the Project). This Project will create an 8.77 mile parallel siding track from Virden to Nilwood, Illinois and passing through Girard. The siding track has been evaluated in an Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared by IDOT to analyze and document whether the Project has significant effects on the environment. The EA also addresses improvements to signalization and at-grade rail-roadway crossings and reconstruction of the mainline track. The Project is part of the Chicago-St. Louis High-Speed Rail Corridor Project (Original Project). For the Original Project, IDOT identified 22 miles of freight sidings in a final environmental impact statement (Final EIS). However, the exact locations of the sidings were not determined and no siding improvements in Macoupin County were proposed or assumed. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) issued a Record of Decision (ROD), dated January 8, 2004, which selected the Preferred Alternative as described in the Original Project Final EIS, and adopted an incremental approach to upgrading the line to support 110-mph high speed rail (HSR) service using the existing Chicago–St. Louis Amtrak route. FRA must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 USC § 4321) as the Federal agency providing grant funding for the Project.

  • Stage Coach Inn, Rare 2-Story Log Building a Macoupin County Historical Treasure
    Stage Coach Inn, Rare 2-Story Log Building A Macoupin County Historical Treasure Don Eichen & Frank R. Masters, 11-29-12 Overview About a mile north of the Carlinville, Illinois town square, on North Broad Street (a portion of the original Route 66), is a pricelessly-rare, two-story log building that is hard-wired to Macoupin county early history. The building, one of the earliest in the county, was built in 1835 about 3 miles southeast of Carlinville to comfort stagecoach travelers stranded when the Macoupin Creek would flood the stagecoach road (to become Route 66) connecting Springfield, via Carlinville, to the then state capital of Vandalia. A small settlement eventually grew around the inn, and became known as “Weatherford’s Prairie”, in reference to Jefferson Weatherford, one of the area’s earliest settlers, builder of the inn, and owner of 80 acres around it. Weatherford went on to become a Macoupin County Sherriff, A Lieutenant in the conflict with the Black Hawk Indians, a bodyguard of the Illinois Governor, and a renowned Texas State Senator and businessman. He also built Carlinville’s first courthouse, 40 years before the “million dollar” version. “Weatherford’s Prairie” went on to become one of the county’s first “vanished communities”. In 1836, Weatherford sold (at a $5,525 profit in nine months), the inn and the 80 acres, to T. P. Hoxey, another of the area’s earliest settlers, and a member of the very first Macoupin county Commissioners Court. The log building became known as “Hoxey’s Inn”. President Lincoln was rumored to have stayed there as a young (mid-20’s) traveling circuit lawyer.
