Macoupin Creek
text:
Macoupin Creek is a 99.7-mile-long (160.5 km) tributary of the Illinois River, which it joins near the village of Hardin, Illinois. The word macoupin refers to the yellow pond lily, a native plant of the regional wetlands, and a favorite food source of local Indians. It has a large rootstock that was baked in a fire pit. The spelling is derived from French attempts at documenting the pronunciation of the Miami-Illinois macopina, with macoupin being the modern form of the earlier French macopine.
