  6. The "Fever River" is now known as the Galena River, flowing through the early lead mining region of southeastern Wisconsin along the border with Illinois. "Fever River" was also an early name for the town of Galena, in Jo Daviess County, Illinois, across the state line from Hazel Green, Grant County, Wisconsin. Hazel Green was the first permanent settlement resulting from the influx of miners to the area in the early 1820s
