A geographic description of the Illinois River and the locations of the Lock & Dams (L & D) that separate the pools. The Illinois River flows downstream toward the Mississippi River from the Dresden Island Pool, which starts at Dresden Island L & D. Upstream the Brandon Road L & D and several other structures act as additional barriers between the Dresden Island Pool and Lake Michigan. Each pool downstream is named after the L & D where it starts, except for the most downstream pool, Alton, which is named after the town near the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. The Dresden Island, Marseilles, and Starved Rock dams are each gated dams, whereas Peoria, La Grange, and L & D 26 are wicket dams. Figure adapted from Coulter et al. [9]
