Starved Rock Crumbling Threatens Historic Monument
Aurora Beacon reports Starved Rock on the Illinois River near Utica is slowly crumbling due to sandstone softness and river erosion. A large northeast corner collapsed last spring, surface loss and height decline followed the previous summer cyclone that damaged the Utica bridge, uprooting pine trees and marring scenery. The rock, tied to Illinois Indians, Father Marquette, Tonti, La Salle, and early explorers, may lose its status as a beauty spot though its historic value endures.
