| has gloss | eng: The Yellow River is a tributary of the Kankakee River, approximately 50 miles (80 km) long, in northern Indiana in the United States. Via the Kankakee and Illinois Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 427 square miles (1,106 km²). The river's name possibly derives from a translation of the Shawnee name for the river, We-thau-ka-mik, meaning "yellow waters," a description perhaps owing to the presence of sand in the riverbed. |
