Hvor starter og slutter sangamonfloden?
McLean County
Sangamon River
Floden udspringer fra flere korte vandløb i det sydlige McLean County, der udspringer af en gletsjermoræne sydøst for Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. En del af morænen er offentligt ejet som Moraine View State Recreation Area. Flodens løb danner en stor bue gennem det centrale Illinois og løber først mod øst ind i Champaign County, Illinois, mod syd gennem Mahomet, derefter mod vest gennem Monticello og Decatur og drejer derefter mod nordvest for at løbe langs nordsiden af Springfield. Den modtager Salt Creek ved 40°7′33.24′′′′N 89°49′30.36′′′′′W / 40.1259000°N 89.8251000°W / 40.1259000; -89.8251000, ca. 40 km nordnordvest for Springfield; derefter drejer floden mod vest og danner den sydlige grænse for Mason County med Menard og Cass counties. Den løber sammen med Illinois River fra øst lige nord for Beardstown.
Beardstown
Sangamon River
The river rises from several short headstreams in southern McLean County that arise from a glacial moraine southeast of Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. Part of the moraine is publicly owned as the Moraine View State Recreation Area. The river's course forms a large arc through central Illinois, first flowing east into Champaign County, Illinois, south through Mahomet, then west through Monticello and Decatur, then turning northwest to flow along the north side of Springfield. It receives Salt Creek at 40°7′33.24′′N 89°49′30.36′′W﻿ / ﻿40.1259000°N 89.8251000°W﻿ / 40.1259000; -89.8251000, approximately 25 miles (40 km) north-northwest of Springfield; then the river turns west, forming the southern boundary of Mason County with Menard and Cass counties. It joins the Illinois River from the east just north of Beardstown.
