The Kaskaskia River snakes through the center of this Illinois landscape, creating a complex wetland environment of oxbows and backwaters like Calamus Lake, Halfmoon Lake, and Muddy Lake. The drainage basin defines the local geography, with numerous tributaries such as Elkhorn Creek and Plum Creek carving through the prairie. Settlement patterns are dictated by the terrain and the vital Louisville & Nashville RR, which connects agricultural centers like Okawville and New Memphis Sta.
