Geocache Description:

Located in Wabash County Illinois on Illinois Route 1 near Cowling, IL.

Bonpas Creek is a tributary of the Wabash River in Illinois. It rises to the east of Olney, in Richland County, Illinois. Flowing south, it forms the boundary between Edwards and Wabash counties. The creek is 58.4 miles (94.0 km) long. It joins the Wabash near Grayville, Illinois. In the last 2 miles (3 km) of its watercourse, it occupies part of a former Wabash oxbow bend.
The name is derived from the early French settlers of the Illinois Country. The name probably means "good steps" or "good path". The name is pronounced locally as "Bom Paw". The nearby town of Bone Gap was named in reference to the creek. The early settlers, mainly from Kentucky, understood the name of the creek to refer to a "pass", in the sense of a mountain pass, and then substituted the Kentucky equivalent, "gap", as in Cumberland Gap.
