Marys River (Illinois)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marys River is a tributary of the Mississippi River in Illinois. It drains a small watershed between the Big Muddy River and the Kaskaskia River. It joins the Mississippi just southeast of Chester, near Kaskaskia. Because of its proximity to Kaskaskia – the capital of Illinois Territory and the first capital of the State of Illinois – Marys River was the site of early settlements leading into the interior of Illinois.
Marys River is approximately 24 miles in length.
