HISTORY OF IROQUOIS COUNTY.
BY E. S. RICKER.
Iroquois county is bounded on the north by Kankakee county, on the east by Indiana, on the south by Vermilion, and on the south and west by Ford county. It is about thirty-five and one-half miles from north to south, and thirty-two miles from east to west, It com- prises seven ranges, two of which are fractional. By reference to the map it will be seen that five are reckoned west from the second prin- cipal meridian, and two east from the third principal meridian. All the townships in the county are numbered north from the base line. Starting at the south side with number twenty-four and finishing at the north with twenty-nine, we have six townships; a strip two miles wide on the north side of the last lying in Kankakee. The county is divided into twenty-five political townships.
The face of the country has few natural diversifications. Origin- ally, Iroquois county was well wooded, and much valuable timber grew on the borders of the streams; but the woodman's ax with thoughtless care and speculative industry long ago thinned it out and consigned the choice growth to the uses of improvement far and near. The surface is well elevated and gently undulating. The southern border of the county rests upon the summit of the water-shed from which streams flow in opposite directions to the Illinois and the Wabash rivers. Iroquois county lies on the northern slope of this great ridge, a tract of country superb in every feature, and of rare fertility, whose superior advantages for dairying and agriculture, added to a fine geographical position in relation to markets, renders it possible to become one of the richest regions in the Northwest. The soil is a black vegetable mold, varying from one and a half to two feet in depth, and is nearly uniform throughout the county. The quadrilateral formed by the Iroquois river and comprising the northeast quarter of the county contains several sandy tracts, which possess but little fertility. These do not constitute more than five per cent of the whole area.
The county presents an admirable system of natural drainage by means of its larger watercourses and their numerous tributaries.

HISTORY OF IROQUOIS COUNTY.
The principal streams are the Iroquois river, Sugar, Mud, Fountain Spring, Prairie, Langham, Pike and Beaver creeks. The chief fceders to these, which have recognized names, are Rush, Coon and Pigeon branches ; Miller's, or the west branch of Spring creek ; Shave Tail, or Jefferson ; and the Aslikum and Gilman ditches. These streams are generally sluggish and turbid. The Iroquois river, from Sugar Island (just over the county line) to its mouth, is shallow and rocky. Along this whole distance silurian limestone abounds ; but above the island the tide is deep and slack, and navigable for flat- boats nearly to the state line. Fish are tolerably abundant in the river and larger creeks, but less so than a few years ago. Artificial obstructions interfere with their running. The most common kinds found are pike, catfish, bass, suckers, dogfish, red-horse, some buffalo and a few eel. The River, Sugar, Mud, Spring, Langham and Beaver creeks are skirted by considerable timber belts. Some of the others have woodlands near their mouths, and a few spontaneous groves in the vicinity of watercourses are seen. Planted ones are becoming numerous and meet the eye in every direction. The choicest part of the natural timber has been cut and sent to market. In some places the land has been entirely cleared to improve it for pasture, as well as to feed the saw-mills. The most common varieties of timber are red, white and burr oak, black walnut, butternut, iron- wood, wild cherry, swamp beech, ash, sugar maple, soft maple, hickory, elm and honey locust. Crab apple and plum bushes abound in certain localities.
