Paisa Creek, named after the so-called Piasa Bird, a native American cliff painting, probably of Underwater Panther, a common element in eastern Native mythology.

“somewhat like a man’s, a body Covered with scales, and so Long A tail that it winds all around the Body, passing above the head and going back between the legs, ending in a Fish’s tail. Green, red, and black are the three Colors composing the Picture. Moreover, these 2 monsters are so well painted that we cannot believe that any savage is their author; for good painters in france would find it difficult to reach that place Conveniently to paint them. Here is approximately The shape of these monsters, As we have faithfully Copied It.”

The pictograph was seen subsequently by LaSalle and other French explorers in the 17th century after which the record is silent for a hundred years. Then additional sightings are reported in the early 19th century, and the earliest-known artist’s sketch was made in 1825 by William Dennis. He labeled his creation the “Flying Dragon.””
