    ??UL-60(28)/79 ??TIN 60-28 ?? OF ILLINOIS ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF NATURAL RESOURCES Public Groundwater Supplies in Carroll County by Dorothy M. Woller and Ellis W. Sanderson ILLINOIS STATE WATER SURVEY URBANA 1979 PUBLIC GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES IN CARROLL COUNTY by Dorothy M. Woller and Ellis W. Sanderson Introduction This publication presents all available information on production wells used for public groundwater supplies in Carroll County. Bulletin 60, which is divided by county into separate publications, supersedes Bulletin 40 and its Supplements 1 and 2. The definition of public water supply as contained in the Environmental Protection Act of 1970 was used to determine those water systems and wells to be included. Systems and wells described furnish water for drinking or general domestic use in: 1) incorporated municipalities; 2) unincorporated communities where 10 or more separate lots or prop• erties are being served or are intended to be served; 3) state-owned parks and memorials; and 4) state-owned educational, charitable, or penal institutions. This report includes separate descriptions for groundwater supplies of 7 municipalities and 1 state park in Carroll County. These are preceded by brief summaries of the ground• water geology of the county and the development of groundwater sources for public use. An explanation of the format used in the descriptions is also given. Acknowledgments. This report was prepared under the general direction of Dr. William C. Ackermann, Chief of the Illinois State Water Survey, and Richard J. Schicht, Head of the Hydrology Section. Special thanks are given to R. T. Sasman, Hydrologist, who checked all of the data and reviewed the manuscript.

  • Attachment J-Historic Trails
    ATTACHMENT J: HISTORIC TRAILS Jo Daviess County is littered with remnants of historic trails and roads. The earliest were the result of Native Americans following herds of large game animals. As trade networks and cultural centers developed among early cultures, trails branched out. The Galena area became a hub for some indigenous tribes because of the lead trade. As early as 6,000-7,000 years ago pieces of lead from the Tri-States were being traded throughout the Midwest and beyond. These pieces, traced by chemical analysis at archaeological sites throughout the mid-continent, show an advanced trading network at an early date. Galena (Latin for lead sulfide) was used for charms and for body paint. The first Europeans followed the trails of the native tribes. Waterways provided the most convenient routes for explorers and fur traders. Prairie du Chien was an important fur trading center beginning in the 1600s. The French also became interested in minerals and by 1690 had accessed the Galena Mines by way of the Mississippi and Fever (now Galena) Rivers. Overland routes were also important, particularly when the lead trade came under the control of the American government. The issuance of the first leases for mining were made in 1822, only four years after Illinois became a state. The excitement generated led to the first major mineral rush in U. S. history. The lead region represented the far fringes of the frontier in the 1820s. There was no settlement in northern Illinois, only the southern part, and the only town of note was St.
