  1. Illinois River

    The Illinois River is a principal tributary of the Mississippi River, approximately 273 miles long, in the State of Illinois. The river drains a large section of central Illinois, with a drainage basin of 28,070 square miles. This river was important among Native Americans and early French traders as the principal water route connecting the Great Lakes with the Mississippi. The French colonial settlements along the river formed the heart of the area known as the Illinois Country. After the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal and the Hennepin Canal in the 19th century, the role of the river as link between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi was extended into the era of modern industrial shipping.

Examples of illinois river in a Sentence

  1. Justin Palmer:

    Areas to our south -- the lower portions of the upper Mississippi and Illinois River -- are seeing relatively decent flows and levels are good for navigation, especially around St. Louis, but extreme cold outbreaks give us a concern for ice bites, which takes flow out of Illinois River, ice gets created in the pools, we drop a lot of flow, which drops stages and becomes an issue for potential groundings. On the Illinois River, however, with this extreme push of cold air, we could potentially see some ice form, but overall, we're seeing good traffic in St. Louis and believe this year the rivers have been more open with this warmer year.
