Stodola, Sarah A. Bales, Diane K. Shasteen 0 Preface While broad geographic information is available on the distribution and abundance of mussels in Illinois, systematically collected mussel-community data sets required to integrate mussels into aquatic community assessments do not exist. In 2009, a project funded by a US Fish and Wildlife Service State Wildlife Grant was undertaken to survey and assess the freshwater mussel populations at wadeable sites from 33 stream basins in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR)/Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) basin surveys. Inclusion of mussels into these basin surveys contributes to the comprehensive basin monitoring programs that include water and sediment chemistry, instream habitat, macroinvertebrate, and fish, which reflect a broad spectrum of abiotic and biotic stream resources. These mussel surveys will provide reliable and repeatable techniques for assessing the freshwater mussel community in sampled streams. These surveys also provide data for future monitoring of freshwater mussel populations on a local, regional, and watershed basis.

    Figure 9.2 Figure 9.2: Watersheds (HUC 10) and Sub‐Watersheds (HUC 12) of the Platte River Region. 9‐2 1. OVERVIEW a) Physical Environment The Platte River Region is characterized by broad open hilltops and river valleys, and steep wooded slopes. The soils in this watershed have formed in a silty, wind‐blown covering with the deepest deposits along the bluffs of the Mississippi River and thinning towards the east. Some valley soils are alluvial sands, loams, and peats. Some hilltops are almost treeless due to the thin soil while others have a deep silt loam cap. Soils are underlain with calcareous bedrock. b) Land Cover and Use The region is dominated by agricultural uses, in particular along the hilltops and valley bottoms. With the increasing price of corn and Figure 9.3: Land cover of the Platte River Region. soybeans over the last decade, many pastures, hayfields, and lands that were enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) are being converted to row crops. This large‐scale conversion of permanent vegetation to agricultural uses that expose open soil is also likely to have an adverse effect on water quality of streams in the region. Deciduous forests are found on the steep side slopes, with wetlands confined to riparian corridors. Most forested lands are part of farming operations and managed to provide forest products, including saw timber and firewood. c) Terrestrial Habitats Grassland management at multiple scales is a conservation opportunity in the Platte River Region. Small, scattered remnants of native prairie exist here along with substantial areas of "surrogate grassland" (although this is declining with conversions out of CRP).

  • NATURAL RESOURCES (Updated Excerpt from Jo Daviess Comprehensive Plan Baseline Data)
    ATTACHMENT F: NATURAL RESOURCES (Updated excerpt from Jo Daviess Comprehensive Plan Baseline Data) The natural resources in Jo Daviess County are unique relative to the rest of the state and much of the mid-west because the county is part of the Wisconsin Driftless Region bypassed by continental glaciers of the Ice Age. This region covers parts of southern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Northwestern Illinois and Northeastern Iowa. Glaciated areas were leveled, strewn with glacial debris or "drift" and dotted with lakes and ponds. The driftless areas, on the other hand, have bedrock close to the surface into which deep valleys have been carved by millions of years of weather and erosion. In Jo Daviess County, streams are numerous and the only two lakes are man-made. The relief from the higher ridges to the valley floors is typically 300 feet or more creating a rugged and scenic landscape. Ecosystems can be found in this landscape that are older than those found in glaciated areas. Geology The topography of Jo Daviess County is characterized by rugged relief unique to most of Illinois. Our county, located in the far northwestern corner of the state, is in an area spared by the major glaciations of the last two million years. It is, accordingly, called the "Driftless Area" by geologists, the term "drift" referring to material deposited by glacial activity. The visible landscape that we see today began during the Paleozoic Era (570 to 245 million years ago) when shallow seas repeatedly inundated the interior of the continent. Shells of marine animals, along with muds, silts and sands from eroding highlands, were periodically deposited in those sea bottoms.

  • Attachment J-Historic Trails
    ATTACHMENT J: HISTORIC TRAILS Jo Daviess County is littered with remnants of historic trails and roads. The earliest were the result of Native Americans following herds of large game animals. As trade networks and cultural centers developed among early cultures, trails branched out. The Galena area became a hub for some indigenous tribes because of the lead trade. As early as 6,000-7,000 years ago pieces of lead from the Tri-States were being traded throughout the Midwest and beyond. These pieces, traced by chemical analysis at archaeological sites throughout the mid-continent, show an advanced trading network at an early date. Galena (Latin for lead sulfide) was used for charms and for body paint. The first Europeans followed the trails of the native tribes. Waterways provided the most convenient routes for explorers and fur traders. Prairie du Chien was an important fur trading center beginning in the 1600s. The French also became interested in minerals and by 1690 had accessed the Galena Mines by way of the Mississippi and Fever (now Galena) Rivers. Overland routes were also important, particularly when the lead trade came under the control of the American government. The issuance of the first leases for mining were made in 1822, only four years after Illinois became a state. The excitement generated led to the first major mineral rush in U. S. history. The lead region represented the far fringes of the frontier in the 1820s. There was no settlement in northern Illinois, only the southern part, and the only town of note was St.

    2/19/2020 Driftless Area - Wikipedia Visited 02/19/2020 Driftless Area The Driftless Area is a region in southwestern Wisconsin, southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa, and the extreme northwestern corner of Illinois, of the American Midwest. The region escaped the flattening effects of glaciation during the last ice age and is consequently characterized by steep, forested ridges, deeply carved river valleys, and karst geology characterized by spring-fed waterfalls and cold-water trout streams. Ecologically, the Driftless Area's flora and fauna are more closely related to those of the Great Lakes region and New England than those of the broader Midwest and central Plains regions. Colloquially, the term includes the incised Paleozoic Plateau of southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Relief map showing primarily the [1] Iowa.

Waller, Professor, Botany Mark E. Berres, Assistant Professor, Animal Sciences i BLISTER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: MELOIDAE) OF WISCONSIN: DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY Daniel A. Marschalek Under the supervision of Professor Daniel K. Young At the University of Wisconsin-Madison Meloids are commonly referred to as “blister beetles” due to the toxin (cantharidin) they possess which can cause blistering of human skin. Several meloid species have long histories of negatively impacting agriculture resulting from large foraging aggregations and negatively impacting livestock health. Even with these important and interesting aspects, little is known about these beetles in their natural habitats. There are recent faunistic surveys of selected insect taxa in Wisconsin but a formal investigation of Meloidae is lacking. The blister beetle fauna of several states has been published, but this survey represents the first in the Midwestern United States. This study provides a comprehensive list of all meloid species documented from Wisconsin, as well as taxonomic keys and summaries for each species (species pages) which includes taxonomy, description, and natural history. During this survey, 28 species in seven genera were documented in Wisconsin, with 10 species considered new state records.

It developed as an important rural service stop along that stagecoach route. Millville was significant in the early history of Jo Daviess County, serving as a civic and commercial hub from 1838–53. The town itself was platted on April 14, 1846 within Rush Township by John R. Smith. 1 Living History of Illinois and Chicago® Living History of Illinois and Chicago® – Facebook Group.

Millville faced decline after the railroads entered Jo Daviess County during the 1850s. Still, the town served as a minor commercial center for several decades after. In 1853– 54 the Illinois Central Railroad bypassed Millville relegating it to a future as a "backwater town". Despite this, two prominent commercial operations remained in business into the late 19th century, the grist mill and a blacksmith shop. The blacksmith shop, eight buildings, two homes and a school are shown in town maps as late as 1872.
