Big Creek is the only natural waterway that meanders through the City of Canton, Illinois (population 15,000), a rural community in west central Illinois. Soon after the first pioneers settled this area in 1825 a sawmill was erected on Big Creek. Over the years it has served as a great economic and natural resource for the community, however in recent years the length of the creek has been polluted with junk and debris (tires, barrels, litter, etc.)
