Terr–14 Mule Deer
TERR–14 MULE DEER 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2001 and 2002, the literature review, a camera feasibility study, the Mammoth Pool migration study (observation study, boat survey, and remote camera study), and a hunter access study were completed. A map of known mule deer summer and winter ranges, migration corridors, and holding areas was created based on the literature review. The camera feasibility study was conducted in the fall of 2001 to test the remote camera system for the spring 2002 remote camera study. The cameras were successful at capturing photographs of 82 animals, including photographs of six deer, during this testing period. The Mammoth Pool migration study consisted of an observation study, boat survey, and remote camera study. The study focused on documenting key migration routes across the reservoir and relative use, identifying potential migration barriers, and documenting any deer mortality in the reservoir. The observation study consisted of two observers positioned with binoculars at two observation points on Mammoth Pool at dusk and dawn in order to observe migrating deer. There were no observations of deer using the dam road. Two observations of deer were made out of a total of 51 observation periods. One observation consisted of a single deer that swam from the Windy Point Boat Launch area to the Mammoth Pool Boat Launch area. The other observation was of one group of five adult deer approaching the reservoir near the observation point by the Mammoth Pool Boat Launch, but turning back up the hill. There was no sign of difficulty in the deer swimming or exiting the reservoir and no obvious disturbance to the deer that turned back. -

Established to develop New Deal resettlement programs in 1937, the United States Farm Security Administration (F.S.A.) was best known for accommodating migratory labour from the drought-stricken central plains. Large numbers arriving in California prompted F.S.A. engineers and architects to develop purpose-designed labour camps and townships, described as early exemplars of community planning. Yet in 1942, when 118,803 Japanese and Japanese Americans were evacuated from the newly created Military Exclusion Zones and incarcerated in relocation centres, F.S.A. skills were put to a different use. This paper demonstrates how wartime exigency, racist immigration policies and militarisation transformed a model for relief and rehabilitation into a carceral equivalent. It contextualises this transformation within a socio-spatial genealogy of temporary facilities that accommodated mass human displacements – including two examples from California: the Tulare County F.S.A. -
