Rivers: the Stream This Ground Drains To

The Yellow River does not rise in Union Township — and the correction prints here so it does not travel. The river is a 62.3-mile tributary of the Kankakee, draining 427 square miles into the Mississippi system. Its present-day…

The banked rivers article (this history, lk-rem-rivers) carries the Yellow River's course, its name conflict, and this township's drainage share whole. What it never ran is the working test set the checklist demands: navigation, dams, supply, sewer, present use. This addendum runs all five, from the located record first and then each row's named settler, and closes with the pointer article the leg was owed. Negatives print as findings, with the searches shown.

The working river, tested: nothing floated, nothing was locked, no race was cut

The Yellow River at this township was never a working river, and the test can now be printed whole. Joseph County, east of Union Township (lk-rem-rivers, GNIS source 41.49833° N, 86.15222° W); this township contributes drainage…

Every dam on the reach: the inventory test returns none

The river as water supply: the town never drank from it

Lakeville's cup was never the river — the supply record is a well record, and the river's part in it is absence. The banked build carries the town's water course without ever stating its source: wells, and the water tower…

The river as sewer: no combined system, no decree, no permit of record reached

No federal case, no consent decree, and no combined system stands on this ground in any carrier reached — and the contrast with the floor city is the finding. South Bend's rivers leg carries a federal combined-sewer decree…

The river in present use: the amenity turn that did not happen here

No races, no riverwalk, no lights, no front-yard development: the Yellow at this township has had no amenity turn, and the plan record shows why. The banked article's only present-day river fact was the lakes' high-phosphorus…

Mills, Dams, Industry and Parks

The rivers article pointed only to the land file; the mills and dams pointers stand here, at pointer size, as this section's discipline requires. The pointers, each to its owning file: the mills — the township's steam-mill course…
