This will enable the user to direct technical and financial resources to the local needs in the watershed. This RWA provides a brief description of the Delaware River sub-basins' natural resources, resource concerns, conservation needs, and ability to resolve natural resource issues and concerns. 2.0 Introduction The Delaware River 8-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) sub-basin is comprised of 740,772 acres in northeast Kansas including Brown, Nemaha, Jackson, Atchison, and Jefferson Counties. According to the National Land Cover Data (NLCD), approximately 35 percent of the sub-basin is in grain and row crop; 50 percent is in grassland, pasture, and hay; and the rest is made up of other various land uses. This sub-basin is located in the Delaware River watershed basin and drains into Perry Reservoir as it flows from northwest to southeast. Relief Map Resource concerns are numerous in the sub-basin. They include, but are not limited to, soil erosion, soil condition, deteriorated surface water quality, deteriorating plant conditions, inadequate fish and wildlife cover and food, and inadequate stock water. Economic issues such as the high capital costs of crop production and farm operation, and unreliable profits may delay the acceptance and implementation of conservation on agricultural lands in the sub-basin. There are 4370 farms and 4370 operators in the Delaware River sub-basin. The estimated farm size in 2002 was 380 acres. Five Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) service centers, five county conservation districts, the Delaware River Watershed District, and the Glacial Hills Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) area provide assistance in the sub-basin. 5 Delaware River – 10270103 December 2006 3.0 Physical Description The physical description of the Delaware River sub-basin provides detailed information so the user can better understand the natural resources associated with this geographical land unit. 3.1 Common Resource Area Map/1 106.1 – Nebraska and Kansas Loess Drift Hills: The Nebraska and Kansas Loess Drift Hills is a dissected glacial drift plain mantled by thick loess. The nearly level to strongly sloping ridge-tops are broad and smooth. The stream valleys are narrow with steep side-slopes. Local relief reaches to 200 feet. Soils are deep with high clay content. Pre-settlement vegetation was native tall grasses on the hills and trees along the streams and intermittent drainage-ways. 6 Delaware River – 10270103 December 2006 3.2 Precipitation Map/2 The map below depicts the average precipitation occurring within the sub-basin. 7 Delaware River – 10270103 December 2006 3.3 Land Use and Land Cover Distribution Map/3 The map below represents the distribution of land cover and land use as defined by NLCD. 8 Delaware River – 10270103 December 2006 3.3.1 Land Use and Land Cover Summary Table/3 Land Cover/Land Ownership Use Public Private Tribal Totals % Acres % Acres % Acres % Open Water 12,540 2% 4,358 1% 1,209 * 18,107 2 Low Intensity Residential 1,660 * 390 * 2,050 * High Intensity Residential 532 * 187 * 719 * Commercial/Industrial/ Transportation 1,914 * 494 * 2,408 * Bare Rock/Sand/Clay 299 * 299 * Quarries/Strip Mines/Gravel Pits 242 * 242 * Deciduous Forest 2,700 * 63,154 9% 7,920 1% 73,774 10 Evergreen Forest 190 * 40 * 230 * Mixed Forest 2,195 * 448 * 2,643 * Shrubland 2,640 * 169 * 2,809 * Grassland/Herbaceous 8,219 1% 58,936 8% 15,832 2% 82,987 11 Pasture/Hay 245,148 33% 46,997 6% 292,145 39 Row Crops 170,717 23% 50,616 7% 221,333 30 Small Grains 25,181 3% 9,840 1% 35,021 5 Urban/Recreational 650 * 163 * 813 * Woody Wetlands 2,132 * 454 * 2,586 * Emergent Herbaceous Wetlands 1,000 * 1,399 * 206 * 2,605 * a HUC Totals 25,109 3% 580,697 78% 134,962 18% 740,772 100% *: Less than 1 percent of total acres. a: Totals are approximate due to rounding and small unknown acreages. Special Considerations for This 8-Digit HUC using NLCD data: Small grains and row crops are predominant commodities grown in rotation on just less than 35 percent in HUC. Grasslands/Herbaceous and Pasture/Hay makes up approximately 50 percent of the watershed. Forest makes up approximately 10 percent of the watershed. Urban land comprises less than 1 percent of HUC.

  • Delaware River Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy
    Delaware River Watershed Restoration And Protection Strategy May 2007 DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED RESTORATION AND PROTECTION STRATEGY By Marlene K. Bosworth Delaware River WRAPS Coordinator April 2007 2 MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Delaware River Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) is to provide the framework for the implementation of water quality improvement practices and behaviors through technical, informational, educational and financial assistance to stakeholders in the watershed. Our goal is to restore the watershed to a condition with clean water, healthy habitats and open spaces for human and wildlife communities. We aim to make the watershed a place where people work together to sustain mutual economic and environmental well-being. ¾ WRAPS is a “community-based” watershed management project, with the “community” being the Delaware River Watershed. Its goal is to protect and restore watershed functions while considering the social and economic factors of the human and non-human residents of the community and the benefits of those watershed functions to each. ¾ Everyone lives in a watershed and is part of a watershed community. The actions of individuals can have a positive or a negative impact on the health of natural resources (the soil, water, air, plants and animals) in their watershed. Small watersheds join together to form larger watersheds, much like many branches on a tree together form the whole tree. What happens in individual, smaller watersheds affects larger watersheds downstream. A WATERSHED is the area that water flows across or under on its way to a particular stream, river, lake or ocean. The DELAWARE RIVER WATERSHED is the area that water flows across or under on its way to the Delaware River in northeast Kansas, an area of over 1,110 square miles.

  • Selected Death Notices from Jackson County, Kansas
    SELECTED DEATH NOTICES FROM JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS, NEWSPAPERS VOLUME IV 1897-1899 COMPILED BY DAN FENTON 2002 ii INTRODUCTION At the beginning of the time period covered by this volume, there were six newspapers being published in Holton, The Holton Weekly Recorder, The Holton Weekly Signal, Normal Advocate, University Informer, The Tribune, and The Kansas Sunflower. The University Informer ceased publication June 1898, and the Normal Advocate, in March 1899. Both were publications of Campbell University. The Soldier Clipper, and the Circleville News, continued in their respective cities. In Whiting, the Sun ceased its publication January 28, 1898, but the Whiting Journal newspaper soon replaced it on February 18, 1898. In Netawaka, the Netawaka Herald ceased publication on June 30, 1899. In Denison, the Hummer began publication on January 10, 1899, and ceased March 15, 1899. As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county. A death notice could appear in different newspapers and from different sources within a paper. One principal notice is listed with excerpts from other accounts being used only when there is differing or additional information. Accolades to the deceased success as a Christian, parent and citizen have been deleted when possible, because of space consideration. Three ellipses denote the deletion of part of a sentence and four that of a sentence or even paragraphs. Each death notice is numbered consecutively and it is this number that appears in the index, not the page number. This is an all surname index that I hope will help the researcher identify family relationships that otherwise would be hidden.

The Mayetta News was also short-lived, being published from July 20, 1904 through February 24, 1905 As noted in the previous volumes, not every death reported in these newspapers is included in this book, only those seeming to have some connection with Jackson county. A death notice could appear in different newspapers and from different sources within a paper. One principal notice is listed with excerpts from other accounts being used only when there is differing or additional information. Accolades to the deceased success as a Christian, parent and citizen have been deleted when possible, because of space consideration.
