For the Cache River Watershed you may want to try:
--The State of Illinois DNR website and other government agencies.
--The U.S. Geological Survey website has 27 hits for "Cache River"
watershed. USGS covers scientific information for all 50 states.
You can email or call them for more information if what you need is not
on their website. They can send you what you need or, at the very
least, refer you to someone else. However, they should have the
authoritative information for the river. The good thing too is that
information created by government is copyright free and usually free to
the public.
I've never had any problems contacting government agencies and getting
responses from them. So, give them a try and see if you can find what
you need.

Subject: purchasing topical maps
Good afternoon! After the departure of our map librarian, I have taken
on the task of purchasing items for our Map Library. I know about some
of the main vendors (Omni, Kappa, ITMB, etc.), but I am having
difficulty finding vendors for topical maps that are not tourist or road
maps. I am currently trying to find maps of two watersheds (Cache River
in Illinois; Tisza River in S.E. Europe).
Any help would be much appreciated!
Best,
Beth
