  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois

    Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois

    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.

    (11Gr100), a Historic Native American Short Duration Occupation on the Des Plaines River, Grundy County, Illinois

    The Highlands Site Craig and Vorreyer, 2004 Mundane Place or Sacred Space: Interpreting the Highlands Site (11Gr100), a Historic Native American Short Duration Occupation on the Des Plaines River, Grundy County, Illinois By Joseph Craig and Susan Vorreyer (Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc.) Archaeological excavations conducted at the Highlands Site near Channahon, Illinois exposed a small, short-duration historic period Native American occupation situated on the upland bluff overlooking the Des Plaines River. Excavated features included four shallow basins, one hearth and a unique semi-circular shallow depression. Historic period artifacts were sparse and included glass seed beads, pieces of scrap copper and lead, and triangular projectile points. Rich amounts of subsistence remains including elk and bison were also recovered from several features. The Highlands site is interpreted as representing a Potawatomi occupation dating to the late 18 th or early 19 th century. Using historical accounts and illustrations of Potawatomi sites and religious customs and activities, the Highlands Site appears to represent a Potawatomi ritual location. Although graves or human skeletal material were not encountered, the analyses of the artifact assemblage, feature morphology and patterning, and interpretation of the faunal assemblage suggests the Highlands site was utilized as a mortuary location. The area surrounding the base of Lake Michigan at the point where the Kankakee and Des Plaines rivers merge with the upper reaches of the Illinois River was the penetration point of the Potawatomi migration into the western Great Lakes region known as the Illinois Country. Beginning in the mid-1600s, the Potawatomi, who inhabited the western Michigan, initiated a series of westward movements to acquire larger hunting territories buttressing their participation in the North American fur trade and also to avoid pressure (and competition) from Iroquois raiders and trappers.
