Tributaries, crossings, and floods: three named gaps

items 3 (drains), 6, and 9 — the ditch names; the bridge successions; the gauge's table

Three river questions wait on three county records, and are banked as gaps in this section's own file: the named waters inside the town — no tributary or creek article can stand: no named watercourse inside the town limits is carried in any fragment, and the township's ditch and drain names ride unreached in the county surveyor's regulated-drain register and the USGS hydrography, named as settlers. The crossings — the town's crossings in the banked set are its road and rail crossings (the viaducts, the Death Crossing); a succession of bridges at each Kankakee site south of the township stands in no fragment, settler the county bridge records, site by site. The floods as a river record — no gauge table or crest series for this reach is carried anywhere in the set; the prairie's marsh-and-drainage frame is the nearest treatment and is not a flood record; settler the USGS gauge and crest records for the Kankakee at this reach. Each gap prints with its record class, so the river leg's remaining errands are unmistakable — the river whole above them is not diminished by their honesty.
