INDIAN TRAILS of MAINE Oct. 29,1920, Nineteenth Century Club, Bangor. "Trail" a misnomer. A trail is something dragged behind, and from this the track made by anything dragged behind. In the west the lodge-poles made trails; hence appropriate. In the east word used only for "game-trails". In Massachusetts the word "path", as The Bay Path was used. In Maine there were, except locally, no paths that left any mark. In winter show-shoe tracks might make a path, but they were not enduring. In Maine the term used has always been "routes"(tho' Joseph Chadwick, 1764, used "passagge").The land sections were called Reasohewlls Maine was a country full of water-ways. Iippssible in such a country to get along by land without great difficulties. Canoe easier ana would carry a load besides all food and implements needed. It does not matter that these routes are no longer impor­ tant; they still exist, as paths would not, for anyone who travelled in certain airections would aturally go by them ano anyone acquainted with the woods can tell where they were.

  • 90 Dams Removed in 2019 to Restore Rivers
    90 Dams Removed in 2019 to Restore Rivers American Rivers releases annual list including dams in Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin for a total of 26 states. Nationwide, 1,722 dams have been removed from 1912 through 2019. Dam removal brings a variety of benefits to local communities, including restoring river health and clean water, revitalizing fish and wildlife, improving public safety and recreation, and enhancing local economies. Working in a variety of functions with partner organizations throughout the country, American Rivers contributed financial and technical support in many of the removals. Contact information is provided for dam removals, if available. For further information about the list, please contact Jessie Thomas-Blate, American Rivers, Director of River Restoration at 202.347.7550 or [email protected]. This list includes all dam removals reported to American Rivers (as of February 6, 2020) that occurred in 2019, regardless of the level of American Rivers’ involvement. Inclusion on this list does not indicate endorsement by American Rivers. Dams are categorized alphabetically by state. Howle and Turner Dam, Tallapoosa River, Alabama The removal of Howle and Turner Dam was in the works for over four years. This project was the result of a great partnership between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife program and the Alabama Rivers and Streams Network. The Service coordinated the pre-restoration planning and worked with their Fisheries and Aquatic Conservation Aquatic Habitat Restoration Team to carry out the demolition and restoration of the river channel.
