The Karst Geomorphology of Manitoulin Island AUTHOR: Susan Rose Enyedy-Goldner, B.Sc THE KARST GEOMORPHOLOGY OF MANITOULIN ISLAND THE KARST GEOMORPHOLOGY OF MANITOULIN ISLAND By SUSAN ROSE ENYEDY-GOLDNER, B.Sc. (Honours) A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science McMaster University September 1994 MASTER OF SCIENCE (1994) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Geography) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Karst Geomorphology of Manitoulin Island AUTHOR: Susan Rose Enyedy-Goldner, B.Sc. Honours, (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. D.C. Ford NUMBER OF PAGES: XV, 312 ii ABSTRACT Manitoulin Island is formed of glacially-abraded dolomite and limestone bedrock widely exposed across the island. The dominant karst landform is dolomite pavement, its form strongly controlled by lithology and classified according to appearance and karren characteristics. Pavement was found to be most extensive and well developed on the Amabel Formation, which also featured a pitted littoral zone along the southern Lake Huron shore. The Fossil Hill Formation featured good pavement only on a limited number of sites .. Other carbonates had only very shallow, limited pavement due to presence of clay or silica rich insolubles, thin beds and frequent shale interbeds. Clint and grike karren forms were the most common on Manitoulin Island pavements. Grikes on these pavements were found to be on average 13 cm wide, 83 cm deep and 367 cm in length, with much variation across pavement types. Grike orientations were dominated by a 90° regional set, with sets 0 0 at 60°, 120 , 30 and 150° of secondary importance Investigation of the island's hydrogeology revealed that the main karst aquifer is divided in half by the Cabot Head Shale aquiclude. The northern aquifer is formed of less soluble carbonates and is dominated by fluvial surface drainage. The southern aquifer has developed in highly soluble dolomites and is dominated by holokarstic drainage, mainly diffuse, and several internally draining lakes. A lack of fluvial karst except some immature systems is attributed to few streams crossing the border between the two extremes of drainage type. There is little macro-karst except Mindemoya Cave, indicating there are limiting fa.ctors to karst development on Manitoulin including age since deglaciation, rock solubility and physiography. Tree density on alvars, a sparsE! parkland type vegetation, was examined on the pavemen.ts. Density was directly related to pavement type as a function of amount of debris in grikes which allows trees to take root. The impacts of deforestation likely enhanced erosion, resulting in the development of this type of vegetation. The relationship between hardness and specific conductivity for Manitoulin Island surfac4= and subsurface waters was established in this study. The wat.ers were found to have high hardness, similar to values on the Bruce Peninsula. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe thanks to many who assisted and supported me during the completion of this thesis. Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Derek Ford. He has given me encouragement and advise throughout this study. In addition he has granted me many wonderful travel opportunities over the years which allowed me to experience the "karst geomorphology" of North America. Also at McMaster, I would like to thank Amos Frumkin and Craig Malis, who were members of my initial reconnaissance trip to Manitoulin Island. I also thank Craig for his help with my rock analysis. Others who have helped me include Bob Bignell who developed my many photos, and Brian McCann who proof-read this thesis, and gave me valuable advice throughout my undergraduate and graduate career. I greatly appreciate the countless hours Steven Reader and Clarence Woodsma spent assisting me in the GIS lab, and for their patience when "impossible problems" arose with my maps and coverages. Thanks to my field assistant Tanya Kohler, for her company during our explorations of Manitoulin. I thank her for her part of this study: the water chemistry, and for helping with digitizing in the GIS lab. I also owe thanks to Daryl Cowell, whose Bruce Peninsula study gave inspiration for this research, and for his advise on matters ranging from potential study sites to GIS analysis. Finally, I would like to thank my husband Rob. He assisted me in the field and greatly helped me put this project together. Without his love and support through these years, I could not have accomplished it. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT . .. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ....................................... i v TABLE 0 F CONTENTS ...................................... v LIST OF FIGURES ........................................ x LIST OF TABLES xiv CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose 1 1.2 Karstic Solution Processes ....... 5 1.3 Methodology ...................... 9 CHAPTER II BACKGROUND OF MANITOULIN ISLAND 2.1 General Physiography and Climate 14 2.2 Palaeozoic Geology 16 2.2.1 Introduction 16 2.2.2 Stratigraphy 21 2.2.3 Sedimentary Environments ... 33 2.3 Quaternary Geology ................ 36 2.3.1 Quaternary Deposits ........ 36 2.3.2 Quaternary Lake Level Change. 41 2.4 Soils ............................. 43 2.4.1 Introduction 43 v 2.4.2 Soil Series ................. 44 2.5 Settlement and Landuse ............. 47 2.5.1 History 47 2.5.2 Natural Vegetation .......... 49 CHAPTER III KARST PAVEMENT ON MANITOULIN ISLAND 3.1 Classification of Dolomite Karst Forms .............................. 51 3.2 Manitoulin Island Pavement ......... 58 3.2.1 Amabel Pavement ............. 58 3.2.2 Fossil Hill Pavement 85 3.2.3 Manitoulin Formation Pavement .................... 96 3.2.4 Other Pavements ............. 109 3.3 Regional Jointing in the Michigan Bas in .............................. 110 3.4 Insoluble Residue Analysis ......... 114 3.5 Coastal Pitted Zone ................ 124 3.6 Discussion ......................... 132 CHAPTER IV HYDROLOGY, HYDROGEOLOGY AND MACROKARST 4.1 Introduction ........................ 138 4.2 Field Methods ....................... 144 4.3 Fluvial Drainage........ .. 146 4.4 Holokarstic Drainage 148 vi 4.4.1 Overview .................... 148 4.4.2 Spring Systems .............. 151 4.4.3 Karstic Lakes ............... 155 4.5 Fluvial Karst and Immature Fluvial Karst .............................. 162 4.6 Meso and Macrokarst: Subsurface Features ........................... 167 4.7 Discussion ......................... 173 CHAPTER V WATER CHEMISTRY 5.1 Introduction 176 5.2 Sampling Methods ................... 180 5.3 Data Analysis ...................... 181 5.4 Sources of Error ................... 185 5.5 Discussion 187 5.6 Pollution Potential ................ 191 CHAPTER VI ALVARS ON MANITOULIN ISLAND PAVEMENTS 6.1 Methods 194 6.2 History of Vegetation on Manitoulin Island ............................. 195 6.3 Impacts of Vegetation Change ....... 200 6.4 Vegetation Change and the spread of Al vars ............................. 202 6.5 Vegetation Density on Manitoulin Island Pavements ................... 207 vii 6.5.1 Field Research .............. 207 6.5.2 Vegetation Density .......... 209 6.5.3 Significance Testing ........ 218 6.5.4 Alvars on other formations .. 222 6.6 Discussion ......................... 223 6.6.1 Interpretation .............. 223 6.6.2 Conclusions ................. 225 CHAPTER VII GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS 7.1 Why use Geographic Information S ys terns?

  • Exploring Historical Literacy in Manitoulin Island Ojibwe
    Exploring Historical Literacy in Manitoulin Island Ojibwe ALAN CORBIERE Kinoomaadoog Cultural and Historical Research M'Chigeeng First Nation This paper will outline uses of Ojibwe1 literacy by the Manitoulin Island Nishnaabeg2 in the period from 1823 to 1910. Most academic articles on the historical use of written Ojibwe indicate that Ojibwe literacy was usu­ ally restricted to missionaries and was used largely in the production of religious materials for Christianizing Native people. However, the exam­ ples provided in this paper will demonstrate that the Nishnaabeg of Mani­ toulin Island3 had incorporated Ojibwe literacy not only in their religious correspondence but also in their personal and political correspondence. Indeed, Ojibwe literacy served multiple uses and had a varied audience and authorship. The majority of materials written in Ojibwe over the course of the 19th century was undoubtedly produced by non-Native people, usually missionaries and linguists (Nichols 1988, Pentland 1996). However, there are enough Nishnaabe-authored Ojibwe documents housed in various archives to demonstrate that there was a burgeoning Nishnaabe literacy movement from 1823 to 1910. Ojibwe documents written by Nishnaabe chiefs, their secretaries, and by educated Nishnaabeg are kept at the fol­ lowing archives: the United Chief and Councils of Manitoulin's Archives, the National Archives of Canada, the Jesuit Archives of Upper Canada and the Archives of Ontario. 1. In this paper I will use the term Ojibwe when referring to the language spoken by the Nishnaabeg of Manitoulin. Manitoulin Nishnaabeg include the Ojibwe, Potawatomi and Odawa nations. The samples of "Ojibwe writing" could justifiably be called "Odawa writ- ing.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

  • The Anishinaabeg, Benevolence, and State Indigenous Policy in the Nineteenth-Century Great Lakes Basin
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 50:1 (2018), pp. 101-122. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). The Border Difference: The Anishinaabeg, Benevolence, and State Indigenous Policy in the Nineteenth-Century Great Lakes Basin Susan E. Gray Arizona State University Abstract: After the War of 1812, British and American authorities attempted to se- quester the Anishinaabeg—the Three Fires of the Ojibwes (Chippewas), Odawas (Ot- tawas), and Boodewadamiis (Potawatomis)—on one side of the Canada-US border or the other. The politics of the international border thus intersected with evolving fed- eral/state and imperial/provincial Native American/First Nations policies and prac- tices. American officials pursued land cessions through treaties followed by removals of Indigenous peoples west of the Mississippi. Their British counterparts also strove to clear Upper Canada (Ontario) of Indigenous title, but instead of removal from the province attempted to concentrate the Anishinaabeg on Manitoulin and other smaller islands in northern Lake Huron. Most affected by these policies were the Odawas, whose homeland was bisected by the international border. Their responses included two colonies underwritten by missionary and government support, one in Michigan and the other on Manitoulin Island, led by members of the same family intent on pro- viding land and educational opportunities for their people. There were real, if subtle, differences, however, in the languages of resistance and networks of potential white allies then available to Indigenous people in Canada and the US. The career trajecto- ries and writings of two cousins, sons of the brothers who helped to craft the Odawa cross-border undertaking exemplify these cross-border differences.

I focus specifically on these treaties because I was raised in proximity to this area. This thesis is very much a personal exploration in the sense that I have come to understand myself as implicated in a treaty relationship, and wish to know my obligations under these agreements. In my interpretation of the Manitoulin Island treaties, I employ a strategy developed by Dr. Michael Asch that begins with the Indigenous understandings. Within this strategy, treaties are conceptualized as honourable agreements meant to ensure our legitimate presence on this land. This methodology is unique in the sense that it conceives of our representatives' actions as sincere.

  • Part 06 Smith and Prevec
    76 Ontario Archaeology No. 69, 2000 Economic Strategies and Community Patterning at the Providence Bay Site, Manitoulin Island Beverley A. Smith and Rosemary Prevec The Providence Bay site (BkHn-3) on the south shore of Manitoulin Island has produced a large faunal assemblage representing a late precontact/early contact period occupation. This paper provides basic descrip- tive and previously unavailable information about this important site and combines the results of the authors’ independently conducted faunal analyses to identify and reconstruct subsistence activities. The large faunal sample provides the database for a reconstruction of the subsistence and dietary preferences of the site’s occupants, the seasons of site occupation, and the procurement strategies practiced at the site. A com- parison of faunal density and the density of important species of animals provides evidence to support the hypothesis that community and household economic activities can be identified at the Providence Bay site.

  • Algonquian Mastery of the Great Lakes
    Inland Sea Navigators: Algonquian Mastery of the Great Lakes VICTOR P. LYTWYN Acton, Ontario Few if any European newcomers failed to be impressed with the water- craft used by Aboriginal people in North America. They were particularly enamoured with the birch bark canoes used by Algonquian-speaking peo­ ples in the Great Lakes region. Early writers agreed that these canoes were well suited to travel from the white water of rushing rivers to the vast expanse of the Great Lakes. In 1724, for example, Joseph Francois Lafitau described the construction of birch-bark canoes as "masterpieces of native art" (1977:124). He continued: "Nothing is prettier and more admirable than these fragile craft in which people can carry heavy loads and go everywhere very rapidly." Edwin Tappan Adney and Howard Chapelle's seminal study of the canoe in North America commented (1964:3), "Indian bark canoes were most efficient water craft for use in forest travel" and "open water in lakes." Algonquian-speaking peoples in the Great Lakes region were espe­ cially noted for their skill in building and navigating birch bark canoes. The Jesuit missionary Francesco Gioseppe Bressani noted that Aboriginal people in the region around Lake Huron were expert navigators. He wrote in 1654 (JR 38:247): The somewhat long and dangerous navigation which they conduct, on rivers and enormous lakes, with very distant nations for the beaver trade, is effected within little boats of bark, no thicker than a testone - holding at the most 8 or 10 persons, but commonly not more than three or four; they manoeuver these dexterously, and almost without danger.

  • Veteran Ships of the Tobermory/Manitoulin Island Run—Where Are They Now? H
    VETERAN SHIPS OF THE TOBERMORY/MANITOULIN ISLAND RUN—WHERE ARE THEY NOW? H. David Vuckson Part of this story originally appeared in the former Enterprise- Bulletin newspaper on September 11, 2015 under the title CROSSING ON THE CHI-CHEEMAUN WAS SMOOTH AND PLEASANT. This is a much expanded and updated version of that story that focuses on the three ships used on the Tobermory to Manitoulin Island run from the mid-20th Century until September 1974 when the Chi-Cheemaun began operating, and on their present situation and where they are located in their retirement. With the Second World War production of corvettes and minesweepers (as well as tankers and coastal freighters that were also needed for the war effort) behind them, the Collingwood Shipyard entered the second half of the 1940’s with orders for a variety of peacetime ships to carry cargo and 1 of 12 passengers on the Great Lakes as well as an order for three hopper barges for the Government of France. The dual firm of Owen Sound Transportation Co. Ltd./Dominion Transportation Co. Ltd. had been operating passenger/freight vessels for many years. With the war over and a return to a peacetime economy, some older vessels could now be retired and replaced with brand new ships. This story focuses on the three ships operated by the firm in the late 1940’s, 1950s and 1960’s and into the early 1970’s: M.S. Normac, S.S./M.S. Norgoma and S.S. Norisle, one elderly, the other two brand new. After the war, two new ferries were ordered from the Collingwood Shipyard by the Owen Sound firm.

  • Mysteries of the Sculptural Narrative Pipes from Manitoulin Island
    Mysteries of the Arni Brownstone In 1845, a year before he made his famous Sculptural journey across Canada, the painter Paul Kane sketched Indian life in the Western Great Lakes. He arrived on Manitoulin Island Narrative on July 26 to find some 2,500 Indians waiting to receive their annual treaty payments. Less than ten years earlier a treaty had been made to relocate all the Indians of southern Ontario Pipes from and those in Michigan loyal to the British Crown onto Manitoulin Island. The 100-mile- long island in Lake Huron in the province of Manitoulin Ontario, said to be the largest in fresh water in the world, was to be turned into a giant reservation the inhabitants of which would be Island taught self-sufficiency through the pursuit of agriculture and other trades. The failure of the plan may be measured by the fact that more than half of the Indians who received annui - ties in 1845 lived off-island. 1.

  • M/V Manitoulin
    M/V MANITOULIN VESSEL PROFILE ABOUT THE M/V MANITOULIN Rand Logistics, Inc.’s newest Canadian-flagged 664-foot self-unloading bulk freighter, designed to carry 27,550 tons at maximum Seaway capacity, was introduced into service on December 1, 2015. The Manitoulin is the first new river class self-unloader to be introduced into Great Lakes service in over 40 years, has the largest carrying capacity of any existing river class self-unloader, and is anticipated to be the most efficient vessel of its class on the Great Lakes. Cargo carried on the Manitoulin includes grain, iron ore, coal, soybeans and other bulk commodities. The Manitoulin is operated by Lower Lakes Towing Ltd., a subsidiary of Rand Logistics. After an official christening in China, the Manitoulin entered service in the Great Lakes Region, completing the more than two years of project planning, ship building and transport. The vessel was built from the stern section of a Danish-flagged salt water chemical tanker called Lalandia Swan, purchased by Rand Logistics in March 2014, to which a new self-unloading bow section was attached. The vessel conversion project also included the construction of a new forebody, which was affixed to the aft section of the newly acquired ship, managed at the Chengxi Shipyard in Jiangyin, China. Chengxi Shipyard Co., Ltd. is one of the leading shipyards in China and is highly regarded globally for its specialized ship repair and large-scale conversion projects.
