W. Healy ABSTRACT River mileages are presented for points of interest on Illinois streams draining 10 square miles or more. 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. River mileages can serve as this index and can also be used for navigation and the computation of stream lengths. This report, in two volumes, lists river mileages for points of interest on Illinois streams that drain at least 10 square miles. These points include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county and State lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Mileages for an intermediate site can be determined by adding or subtracting a measured distance from the nearest given point of interest. Drainage areas for selected points, including drainage area at the mouth of any stream draining 100 square miles or more, are also given. Within each volume, streams are listed in an upstream order, following the stream to which they are tributary. Volume 1 contains the Ohio River basin followed by the St. Lawrence and Mississippi (excluding the Illinois) River basins. Volume 2 contains the Illinois River basin. Two maps are presented of the State of Illinois. Figure 1 shows counties. Figure 2 shows the major Illinois streams and hydrologic units superimposed on figure 1. An alphabetical index is included containing the stream name, the larger stream to which it is tributary, and the major basin in which it lies. This report was prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It includes the drainage area values reported by Ogata (1975) with revisions and several additions. 1 METHODS River mileages were determined according to the standards of the U.S. Water Resources Council (1968). Computations were done on the most recent (as of February 1979) USGS 7 1/2- or 15-minute series topographic maps, with the exception of a few streams for which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the Survey had already established mileages. An electronic digitizer with a resolution of 0.01 inch was used and measurements were rounded to the nearest 0.1 mile. Streams were measured upstream from the mouth at mile 0.0 to the topographic divide. Drainage areas were computed according to the standards of the Federal Inter-Agency River Basin Committee (1951). These calculations were done over several years by the use of planimeters on USGS 7 1/2- or 15-minute series topographic maps. Survey district offices in Indiana and Wisconsin furnished data for areas within those States. Areas less than 1 square mile were rounded to two significant figures; areas from 1 to 1,000 square miles were rounded to three significant figures; and areas greater than 1,000 square miles were rounded to the nearest square mile. Since January 17, 1900, there has been limited diversion of water from Lake Michigan through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to the Illinois River. None of the Lake Michigan drainage area was included in the Illinois River Basin calculations. EXPLANATION OF TABLES Miles above mouth This is the river mileage for a point of interest. It is the distance from the mouth to a point on the stream measured along the stream’s established course. Description This is a brief description of the point of interest. If the point has no name (for example, county road or unnamed tributary), the section, township, and range location is given. Tributaries are marked as entering a stream from the left or the right (L or R) from a position facing downstream. Drainage area The drainage area of a point on a stream is that area measured in a horizontal plane, that constitutes a topographic basin and is enclosed by a topographic divide from which all direct surface runoff drains to that point. Latitude and longitude These have been determined for every point that has a drainage area listed. They are given in degrees in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Topographic quadrangle This is the most recent USGS 7 1/2- or 15-minute series topographic map on which the site is located. All quadrangles are located in Illinois unless otherwise stated. 2 REFERENCES Federal Inter-Agency River Basin Committee, 1951, Inter-agency coordination of drainage area data: Subcommittee on Hydrology Bulletin 4, 48 p.

Prospectinghas been par. ticularly active as many men, finding employment difficult to obtain, hare scoured the hills with gold-pan and shovel in search of the yellow metal, which is now more firmly entrenched as the Symbol of real value than eyer before. Development of placer properties has been vigorously prosecuted and productive hydraulics are enjoyinga successful year. The placer-output will uudoubtedly show a substantial increase for the year, as preliminary figuresindicate that largeramounts of ?:old are beingrecovered in the importantareas of Cariboo and Atlin.

Studies have shown that open space and recreational opportunities can produce higher property values, provide economic stimulus, and promote healthier citizens. They can also have a positive effect on the community by reducing crime, improving air and water quality, and attracting tourism revenue. Below is a description of some of the benefits of greenways and trails. 1. Improvement of Air and Water Quality – The inclusion of open space in an environment can help reduce air pollutants by acting as a filter. The addition of one (1) tree can remove as much as twenty‐six (26) pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year. [ridethisbike.com, February 27, 2007]. The inclusion of greenways along creeks and rivers act as filter strips to clean water. 2. Reduction of Crime – According to an University of Illinois Study, inner city areas that contain open space with flowers, low growing shrubs, and high canopy trees have half of the crime of similar areas that lack open space. The study showed that these amenities drew people outdoors which reduced irritability, fatigue, aggression, and impulsive behavior. The study also showed that this reduction of negative behavior translates into a reduction of crimes, such as, vandalism and street violence. Page | 1 Greenways and Trails Plan 2009 The study observed that because open space drew more people outdoors, crimes were more noticeable and harder to conceal.

Geological Science Field Trips The Educational Extension Unit of the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) conducts four free tours each year to acquaint the public with the geology, mineral resources, and landscapes of various regions of the state and the geological processes that have led to their origin. Each field trip is an all-day excursion through one or more Illinois counties. Fre- quent stops are made to explore interesting phenomena, explain the processes that shape our environment, discuss principles of earth science, and collect rocks and fossils. People of all ages and interests are welcome. The trips are especially helpful to teachers preparing earth science units. Grade school students are welcome, but each must be accompanied by a parent or guard- ian. High school science classes should be supervised by at least one adult for each ten students.
