In Grafton, at a parking lot by the rivers is a kiosk where there is a map showing the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers and a round red "You Are Here Marker" with a 'swish' to the location where you are on this map.
The parking lot is south of downtown Grafton, at the end of Market Street, south of Illinois Route 100. Adjacent to the access road to the Grafton Ferry.
The kiosk is clearly visible in the parking lot, located near the river and by a boat ramp.
The map on the kiosk has a rendurring of the two rivers: The Missillippi River is the long segment that is the more southern segment on the left and the segment to the right. The Illinois is the stump of a segment that meets the Mississippi in the center. The 'You Are Here circle is on the right, colored red with white letters. There is a 'swish' of translucent red that narrows to a point on the river where Grafton is - which is where this sign is located.
This sign is for good paddling trips, so there are three additional markers showing begining or ending locations of those trips.
