Big Sandy Creek (Illinois)
Big Sandy Creek, often called the Big Branch, is a tributary of the Illinois River in central Illinois. It drains a large portion of southwestern Morgan County and southern Scott County. The drainage of Big Sandy Creek includes Lake Jacksonville and the county seat of Scott County, Winchester, Illinois. Most of the Big Sandy Creek drainage is intensely farmed arable land. Because the land is sandy, nitrogen runoff due to fertilizer application is significant. In addition, Jacksonville and Winchester drain their sewage into the creek.
