Springate A shared history is one of the most powerful ways that people feel connected to one another. Even as an immigrant new to U.S. soil, a person is part of a shared heritage of people coming from elsewhere and making America great. While the United States has a deep and rich lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) history—and not just in the big cities of New York and San Francisco—these histories have largely been ignored or marginalized. In 1998 the National Trust’s Forum The Washington, D.C., home of Franklin E. Kameny, a Journal published Gail Dubrow’s article, significant figure in the American gay rights movement, “Blazing Trails with Pink Triangles and Rainbow was listed in the National Register in 2011. | Photo by Farragutful, via Wikimedia Commons. Flags: New Directions in the Preservation and Interpretation of Gay and Lesbian Heritage.” In it, Dubrow described a nascent grassroots movement poised for national recognition. Although there were no LGBTQ National Historic Landmarks or listings in the National Register of Historic Places at that time, in local communities around the country, preservationists were recording gay and lesbian oral histories, curating gay and lesbian archives, and mounting exhibits about gay and lesbian history and neighborhoods.

    ARCHEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL DETERMINATION OF TRADITIONALLY NAVIGABLE WATERS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND A COMPREHENSIVE METHODOLOGY FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE TRADITIONAL NAVIGABILITY OF WATERWAYS IN THE UNITED STATES Goose Creek Canal, Loudoun County Virginia William P. Barse, Ph.D. and Boyd Sipe July 2007 5300 Wellington Branch Drive • Suite 100 • Gainesville, VA 20155 • Phone 703.679.5600 • Fax 703.679.5601 www.wetlandstudies.com A Division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. ABSTRACT This document presents the results of an archival and documentary study on the Traditional Navigability of Waterways in Northern Virginia. The study area is depicted in Attachment 1 of this report and is roughly bounded by the Potomac River on the north and east, the Opequon Creek watershed on the west and the Rappahannock River watershed on the south. The study was conducted by Thunderbird Archeology, a division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. of Gainesville, Virginia. The purposes of this work are threefold. The primary purpose is to assist consultants and regulators in completing Section III of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Approved Jurisdictional Form. In order to accomplish this goal, a working definition of what constitutes Traditional Navigable Waterways was prepared. This definition will aid in the determination of Waters of the United States jurisdiction for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers within the study area. Secondly, using specific archeological and historical information, the paper demonstrates that certain rivers and streams can be identifiable as Traditional Navigable Waterways. It is also possible to consider the use of streams for recreation, e.g.
