In her initial research, Laramée looked at the river and its watershed “upside-down and sideways” and was drawn to benthic maps of the river bottom.
The sugar processing industry has been integral to the Yonkers economy since the mid-nineteenth century when the Hudson River painters were also drawn to the river.

 Big Sugar Creek, Missouri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Most reviews of Big Sugar Creek tend to suggest a waterway of about 24.5 miles in length, starting near Powell and ending at the Little Sugar confluence, where the Elk River is born of the meeting of the two creeks.
However, Big Sugar actually begins in Barry County many miles east of Powell, and flows an estimated 45-50 miles, possibly longer, from its headwaters to the Elk River.
A recent addition to the area is the Big Sugar Creek State Park, in which about 80% of its more than 2,000 acres have been designated as the Elk River Breaks Natural Area, and is protected as a perpetual, undeveloped area that features a wide diversity of wildlife, birds, plants and forests.

A 19-mile stretch of the West Branch Sugar River flowing southeast of Mount Horeb in southwest Dane County is the first river in the State of Wisconsin to be removed from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s list of degraded waters as a result of environmental restoration.
