ARLIS .· .· Alaska Resources Uotary & Information Services AlM INTRODUCTION At the request of the Bureau of Land Management, the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service made an independent study of the resources of the Kisaralik River area to determine the river's suitability for designation as a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System. In the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (PL. 90-542) Congress stated: "It is hereby declareq to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation which with their immediate envi:r:onments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations." Ibis study was made in compliance with ~he Act. An interagency field inspection was conducted of the Kisaralik River in July 1978. Participating in the inspection were: Bureau of Land Management U.s. Fish & Wildlife Service State of AI;aska, Division Heritage Conseravtion & of Parks Recreation Service The following analysis is largel~ based on information obtained during the interagency field inspection; the Kisaralik River Report of August 7-14, 1976, by BLM staff (unpublished); the BOR aerial reconaissance in 1977; and library materials. THE RIVER AND ITS SETTING ~eral Setting The 3,000-4,000 foot high Kuskokwim Mountains run from near the central Yukon River in a southwest direction to the Bering Sea.

    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage. Many of the indi- Figure 381.—Index map of vidual ranges support glaciers.

Index glaciers range in size from tiny unnamed cirque glaciers with areas of less map modified from Field than 1 km2 to very large valley glaciers with lengths up to 76 km (Denton (1975a).

  • Parks Highway and West Alaska Range Region
    Chapter 3: Parks Highway and West Alaska Range Region Parks Highway and West Alaska Range Region The Parks Highway and West Alaska Range encompasses an area of 4,088,136 acres and is situated in the southeastern and eastern part of the planning area. It encompasses the area, generally described in its north-south orientation, from the Fairbanks area and the northern part of the Tanana Valley State Forest south to the Susitna River and the Denali Highway. In its east-west orientation it extends from the Teklanika and Nenana Rivers on the west to the Tanana River on the east. This large region has a high measure of access, from both the Parks Highway and the Alaska Railroad, and as such it is probably the most accessible of the three regions within the planning area. There are a number of small communities within this area, all of which are situated along the Parks Highway and Alaska Railroad; these include, from north to south, Nenana, Clear, Healy/McKinley Village, and Cantwell. Also included in this region are two boroughs (Denali and Fairbanks North Star). The community of Nenana is situated in the FNS Borough while the Denali Borough, which occupies most of the southern half of the planning region, includes the communities of Cantwell, Healy/McKinley Village, and Anderson (Clear). Two major military reservations exist within the region, including the Fort Wainwright facility in the northeastern part of the region and the Clear Air Force Base, at Anderson. The Denali National Park and Preserve, which is significant for tourism, is located southwest of the region.

  • Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Mining, Land and Water
    ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF MINING, LAND AND WATER PRELIMINARY DECISION ADL 415636, ADL 415639, ADL 415797, ADL 415800 through ADL 415805, ADL 415808 through ADL 415812, 417601, ADL 417602 and ADL 417991 CONVEYANCE OF LAND UNDER 29.65.030 DENALI BOROUGH MUNICIPAL SELECTIONS Proposed Action The Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Mining, Land and Water (DNR) proposes to convey approximately 24,821 acres of state-owned land to the Denali Borough (DB) and reject and retain in state ownership approximately 18,500 acres for public access and fish and wildlife resource protection purposes. The land is located approximately 110 miles south of Fairbanks, primarily on the Parks Highway between Anderson and Cantwell. This land is managed by the state under the Tanana Basin Area Plan (TBAP). The borough will use this land as a resource base for infrastructure development including public purpose facilities, land disposal for community expansion, and commercial and recreation facilities. This decision also clarifies the Final Finding and Decision dated June 26, 2000, approving land to the DB in the Montana Creek and Yanert areas. This decision provides a detailed description of what was intended to be approved and approves additional land in each area selected by the borough. In order to convey portions of the borough’s selections, the Tanana Basin Area Plan (TBAP) must be amended to change certain plan designations into conveyable classifications. An amendment and land classification order will be processed concurrent with this decision process to reclassify those parcels found appropriate for conveyance to the DB as referenced in the plan amendment.

Karle, P.E. Hydraulic Mapping and Modeling P.O. Box 181 Denali Park, Alaska 99755 September 2007 U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Natural Resources Program Center Fort Collins, Colorado The Natural Resource Publication series addresses natural resource topics that are of interest and applicability to a broad readership in the National Park Service and to others in the management of natural resources, including the scientific community, the public, and the NPS conservation and environmental constituencies. Manuscripts are peer- reviewed to ensure that the information is scientifically credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and is designed and published in a professional manner. The Natural Resources Technical Reports series is used to disseminate the peer-reviewed results of scientific studies in the physical, biological, and social sciences for both the advancement of science and the achievement of the National Park Service’s mission. The reports provide contributors with a forum for displaying comprehensive data that are often deleted from journals because of page limitations. Current examples of such reports include the results of research that addresses natural resource management issues; natural resource inventory and monitoring activities; resource assessment reports; scientific literature reviews; and peer reviewed proceedings of technical workshops, conferences, or symposia.

  • Dear Alaska Long Trail Project Supporters
    Dear Alaska Long Trail project supporters: We’re writing today to ask you to submit a statement of support for the Alaska Long Trail, as endorsed in the Governor’s G.O. Bond, before May 10th. More info: https://www.alaska- trails.org/go-bond-2021 The legislature is continuing the process of setting capital and operating budgets, now with the benefit but the complication of over $1 billion in federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds. Our understanding is the G.O. Bond may not happen, in part due to the unanticipated influx of federal ARP funds. If the G.O. Bond is dropped, key legislators support switching the projects to the Capital Budget, perhaps tapping into federal American Rescue Plan funding. Your voice is key to securing funds for this widely supported set of projects. We hope you will submit a letter of support on behalf of your City/Borough/organization to your local legislators: Kenai: Ben Carpenter - House Finance; Pete Micciche - Senate Resources; Ron Gillham - House Resources You can find a list of contact information for these individuals here. Whatever terms you might use to express that support is great. If helpful, the attached template offers several points that we think are most important. Attached: 1) Full project list with explanation for expansion to $15.8M 2) Short list assembled by the OMB 3) Template with key points to stress Also, more information on our website: https://www.alaska-trails.org/go-bond-2021 Thanks very much! Please call if you have any questions. Alaska Trails team Outline of Letter of Support Dear XXXXX I am writing to ask you to support a set of projects for the planned Fairbanks-to-Seward Long Trail.
