  • Chapter 5 Resource Preservation
    CHAPTER 5 RESOURCE PRESERVATION INTRODUCTION The citizens of Roanoke County have a strong desire to preserve the quality of the county’s natural, scenic and historic resources. The county’s natural features - including mountains, forests, productive soil, streams, fresh air and wildlife - serve to distinguish the greater Roanoke Valley as a uniquely attractive urban center. Roanoke County citizens recognize that the beauty of the existing natural environment attracts not only businesses and residents to our community but also tourists and sports enthusiasts. County citizens believe that it is essential to maintain the high quality of Roanoke County’s environment while accommodating the pressures for future growth and development. OPEN SPACE During the past twenty-five years, Roanoke County has experienced steady growth. From a population of 53,800 in 1970 that reflects the results of several annexations, the population grew 54 percent to 83,100 in 1995. Future population projections indicate that by the year 2010 the County population will be approximately 87,400. This growth in population and the accompanying shift in demographics - such as an aging population - are changing the traditional rural landscape of the County. New residents require more housing, schools, shopping centers, office buildings, roads, water and sewer facilities and parks and recreational services. The rural landscape is gradually becoming urbanized as a result of this growth. What was once an orchard is now a residential subdivision or a shopping center. What was once a hardwood forest is now an office building or condominium. Between 1982 and 1992 the number of farms in Roanoke County decreased 11 percent from 306 to 272.

  • Cumberland Gap National Park
    Cumberland Gap Throughout the ages, poets, songwriters, novelists, journal writers, historians and artists have captured the grandeur of the Cumberland Gap. James Smith, in his journal of 1792, penned what is perhaps one of the most poignant descriptions of this national and historically significant landmark: "We started just as the sun began to gild the tops of the high mountains. We ascended Cumberland Mountain, from the top of which the bright luminary of day appeared to our view in all his rising glory; the mists dispersed and the floating clouds hasted away at his appearing. This is the famous Cumberland Gap..." Thanks to the vision of Congress, who in 1940 authorized Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, visitors today can still bask in its beauty and immerse themselves in its rich history. The story of the first doorway to the west is commemorated at the national park, located where the borders of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia meet. Carved by wind and water, Cumberland Gap forms a major break in the formidable Appalachian Mountain chain. First used by large game animals in their migratory journeys, followed by Native Americans, the Cumberland Gap was the first and best avenue for the settlement of the interior of this nation. From 1775 to 1810, the Gap's heyday, between 200,000 and 300,000 men, women, and children from all walks of life, crossed the Gap into "Kentuckee." The Path of Buffalo and Warriors During the 17th century, the American bison, after a 1,100 year hiatus, resumed a migratory pattern into the southeast portions of North America.

Niemi,1 Jamie T. Buscher,2 James A. Spotila,3 Martha A. House,4 and Shari A. Kelley 5 Received 21 May 2013; revised 21 October 2013; accepted 28 October 2013; published 20 December 2013. [1] The San Emigdio Mountains are an example of an archetypical, transpressional structural system, bounded to the south by the San Andreas strike-slip fault, and to the north by the active Wheeler Ridge thrust. Apatite (U-Th)/He and apatite and zircon fission track ages were obtained along transects across the range and from wells in and to the north of the range. Apatite (U-Th)/He ages are 4–6 Ma adjacent to the San Andreas fault, and both (U-Th)/He and fission track ages grow older with distance to the north from the San Andreas. The young ages north of the San Andreas fault contrast with early Miocene (U-Th)/He ages from Mount Pinos on the south side of the fault. Restoration of sample paleodepths in the San Emigdio Mountains using a regional unconformity at the base of the Eocene Tejon Formation indicates that the San Emigdio Mountains represent a crustal fragment that has been exhumed more than 5 km along the San Andreas fault since late Miocene time. Marked differences in the timing and rate of exhumation between the northern and southern sides of the San Andreas fault are difficult to reconcile with existing structural models of the western Transverse Ranges as a thin-skinned thrust system.

  • Fire Season 2003
    2003 (Cherry Creek Fire) Overview The San Juan Hotshots formed in 2002 as one of 93 IHC crews in the nation. We are located in Durango, Colorado at Engineer Guard Station. The San Juan IHC is based at 9210 feet and are proud to be the highest based IHC in the nation. The 2003 season was busier than average taking the crew to Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon. This report gives an overview of the 2003 season covering topics such as the hiring, assignments, training, safety, and fires. Hiring The year started off with five new seasonal faces in addition to the two new squad bosses Dave Pearce and Courtney Madigan. The crew also hired Jesse Jones, Ryder Jones, and Cannon Shockley as lead crewmembers. (Brush Mountain Fire) Assignments The crew started May 5, 2003 and ended October 17, 2003. The crew started off with its usual two weeks of mandatory training. It included long hours of PT, multiple classes, and an overnight field exercise. The season started off with a few small fires on the San Juan N.F. Arizona’s fire season started up and we spent our first full dispatch in region three. After the Picture fire and Thomas fire we returned to Colorado for a few small fires including the Beaver fire. We were not on the fire very long but most of the crewmembers will remember it because of the erratic cotton fires that would run across our line and later dozer line. Every day the aspen trees would drop a large amount of aspen seed, and the fire would cross our line due to burning aspen seed spreading across.

It is a place that allows us to listen to the quiet, to think, to pay attention to the details of life, and to find renewal. Visits to spe- cial places like the Pinnacle Overlook, Hensley Settlement, and Gap Cave, a hike along the Wilderness Road, or perhaps a trip to the iconic White Rocks, provide incredible opportunities.
