  • Fifteenmile Subbasin Plan
    Fifteenmile Subbasin Plan DRAFT May 25, 2004 Prepared by Wasco County Soil and Water Conservation District and Fifteenmile Coordinating Group for The Northwest Power and Conservation Council Fifteenmile Subbasin Plan Table of Contents Section 1: Executive Summary Section 2: Introduction Section 3: Assessment Section 4: Inventory of Existing Activities Section 5: Management Plan Section 6: Appendices A through J Fifteenmile Subbasin Plan DRAFT May 25 2004 Wasco County Soil and Water Conservation District, in cooperation with Fifteenmile Coordinating Group 1. Executive Summary The Fifteenmile Subbasin Plan has been developed as part of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program. Subbasin plans will be reviewed and eventually adopted into the Council’s Fish and Wildlife Program to help direct Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) funding of projects that protect, mitigate and enhance fish and wildlife habitats adversely impacted by the development and operation of the Columbia River hydropower system. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intend to use subbasin plans as building blocks in recovery planning to meet the some of their requirements of the 2000 Federal Columbia River Power System Biological Opinion (BiOp). Subbasin planning through the Council’s program will also assist Bonneville with some of the requirements they have under the 2000 BiOp. The Fifteenmile Coordinating Group intends the Fifteenmile Subbasin Plan to serve multiple purposes. The Group intends the plan to meet the Council’s call for subbasin plans as part of its Columbia Basin wide program and to provide a resource for all entities involved with natural resource planning efforts.

They have been doing so since time immemorial, an important indigenous concept which describes a time continuum that spans from ancient times to present day. In post- contact years, interactions expanded to include explorers, traders and missionaries, who brought with them new opportunities for trade and intermarriage as well as the devastating circumstances brought by disease, warfare, and the reservation era. Through cultural adaptation and uninterrupted treaty rights, the CTUIR never ceased to continue to travel to the lower Columbia and Willamette River and falls for seasonal traditional practice and for other purposes.

  • A Lasting Legacy: the Lewis And
    WashingtonHistory.org A LASTING LEGACY The Lewis and Clark Place Names of the Pacific Northwest—Part II By Allen "Doc" Wesselius COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2001: Vol. 15, No. 2 This is the second in a four-part series discussing the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the explorers' efforts to identify, for posterity, elements of the Northwest landscape that they encountered on their journey. Columbia River "The Great River of the West" was on the maps that Lewis and Clark brought with them but the cartographic lore of its upper reach influenced William Clark when he identified the supposed upper fork as "Tarcouche Tesse." British explorer Alexander Mackenzie had called the northern reach of the river "Tacoutche Tesse" in his 1793 journals and map. When the explorers realized they had reached the Columbia River on October 16, 1805, they also discerned that they would not discover the source of the drainage, important as that was for establishing the future sovereignty of the region. After Lewis & Clark determined that there was no short portage route between the Missouri and Columbia rivers, the myth of a Northwest Passage evaporated. The priority for the expedition now was to achieve the primary goal of its mission by reaching the mouth of the Columbia River. American rights of discovery to the Columbia were based on Robert Gray's crossing of the bar in 1792 at the river's discharge into the Pacific. He explored the waterway's western bay and named it "Columbia's River" after his ship, Columbia Rediviva.

Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan. Trips included Mount Saint Helens Climb, July 4 and 5, 1915; Table Mountain Hike, November 14, 1915; Mount Adams Climb, July 1, 1916; and Beacon Rock Hike, November 4, 1917.
