Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers

Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts. Yet these records too are incomplete as they are from the recollections of the people interviewed by Mr. Podskoch. -

Technical Note 352
TECHNICAL NOTE 352 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT AQUATIC INVENTORY OF THE UPPER BILL WILLIAMS DRAINAGE YAVAPAI AND MOHAVE COUNTIES, ARIZONA by WILLIAM G. KEPNER 1 ... Cove r Drawing: Santa Maria River above Palmerlta Ran<'h hy Lauren M. Porzer, 1981 . • AQUATIC INVENTORY OF THE UPPER BILL' WILLIAMS DRAINAGE, YAVAPAI AND MOHAVE COUNTIES, ARIZONA i. TECHNICAL NOTE 352 by William G. Kepner Aquatic Ecologist U.S. Bureau of Land Management Phoenix District Office August 1979 : I ABSTRACT The upper Bill Williams drainage in Yavapai and Mohave counties, Arizona, supports a diversified fauna of native and introduced fishes. Twenty-two species and two hybrids have been recorded from the upper drainage and Alamo Lake. Museum records were combined with collections from an intensive aquatic survey of the area to outline an account of the fish species that occur there. Patterns of distribution and abundance appear to be relatively stabilized with native fishes (Agosia chrysogaster, Rhinichthys osculus, Gila robusta, Catostomus insignis, and Pantosteus clarki) exclusively occupying the head waters, and introduced forms inhabiting lower reaches. Water quality of the upper basin was, with few exceptions, within levels outlined in federal and state surface water standards and found to support a variety of macroinvertebrates at high standing crop. Sixty-two total taxa were collected, including members of 9 of the 10 aquatic insect orders. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ~ Completion of the aquatic inventory was made possible through the efforts of several individuals to whom I wish to express my sincere appreciation. In particular I wish to acknowledge John D. Burd, who assisted i me in the field collections. -

Tempe, Arizona December 1, 2010 ABSTRACT Client: Mohave County Land Agency: United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Project Title: Mohave County Flood Control—Antelope Springs Gauge Project Description: Mohave County plans to install flood control gauges in several locations north and east of Kingman, including the current project area within Antelope Canyon. The gauge will occupy less than 10 square feet, but the Area of Potential Effect (APE) encompasses a 50 ft2 area around the proposed flood control gauge location. Project Location: The project area is located on BLM land in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 33, T26N, R18W, Mohave County, Arizona. (Map reference: USGS Mount Tipton Arizona, 7.5’ series quadrangle). More specifically, the centerpoint for the Antelope Spring gauge is located at UTM 753237E, 3943610N, Zone 11. Number of Acres Surveyed: 50 square feet Number of Newly Identified Sites: 0 Number of AZ/NRHP Eligible Sites: 0 Comments: Northland conducted a Class I records review of the project area prior to the pedestrian survey. The records review yielded one previous cultural resources survey and two archaeological sites adjacent to the current project area. No cultural resources were previously recorded within the project area. A full-coverage (100%) Class III cultural resources survey was conducted of the 50 ft2 project area. -
