PLAN Montana law has authorized County land use planning since 1975. In 1999, the State legislature shifted the emphasis of land use planning from the preparation of comprehensive plans to the creation of jurisdiction-wide growth policies. The law requires that each county adopt a Growth Policy as a basis for future land use decisions. The Growth Policy also encourages adoption of detailed plans for neighborhoods, regions, areas and specific issues. In practice, the most common use of the Growth Policy and its associated area or specific plans is as a guide for agency review of subdivisions, though no proposed subdivision can be denied based solely on compliance with the Growth Policy or area plans. A Growth Policy “provides a framework for articulating existing goals and policies and establishes the legal and philosophical foundation upon which future plans and regulations will be based.”1 In accordance, the Missoula County Office of Planning and Grants drafted a Growth Policy for Missoula County which was adopted in July of 2002. Montana Code Annotated Section 76-1-605 describes the purpose and uses of a Growth Policy and its amended regional land use plans. The Board of County Commissioners shall "be guided by and give consideration to the general policy and pattern of development set out in the growth policy in the: 1. authorization, construction, alteration, or abandonment of public ways, public places, public structures, or public utilities; 2. authorization, acceptance, or construction of water mains, sewers, connections, facilities, or utilities; 3. adoption of subdivision controls; and 4. adoption of zoning ordinances or resolutions." The Wye Mullan West Comprehensive Area Plan is a comprehensive area plan, in compliance with the broader 1998 Missoula Urban Comprehensive Plan and the 2002 Missoula County Growth Policy. Consulting the land use map and text of this plan provides educated guidance for how development should occur in the Wye Mullan West Comprehensive Area Plan over the next 20 years. 1 Missoula County Growth Policy.

  • EXPERIENCES of a PACKER in WASHINGTON TERRITORY MINING CAMPS DURING the SIXTIES (Concluded from Vol
    EXPERIENCES OF A PACKER IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY MINING CAMPS DURING THE SIXTIES (Concluded from Vol. XIX., page 293). Well, that morning when Patterson reached the barber shop he found Pinkham in the barber shop getting shaved; Patterson just walked over to the barber chair, drew out a big dragoon six shooter and placing it against Pinkhams ear shot him through the head. After he was shot Pinkham jumped up and ran to the front door, and fell there dead. I was right there at the time and saw him lying there in a pool of blood. Patterson "gave himself up," and his crowd being in control of things he was later acquitted by a packed or intimidated jury. Patterson was a bad man, he had killed a sea captain in Portland, and murdered a number of men in "self defense." When a bad man wanted to commit murder with impunity he picked a quarrel with his vic­ tim and killed "in self defense." In going from Walla Walla to the Kootenay mining district we traveled over the Mullan Road to the crossing of the Touchet River, the site of the present town of Prescott; thence to the Snake River, which we crossed sometimes at Silcott's or Lyons Ferry and sometimes at Texas Ferry. We struck the Mullan Road again at Rock Creek and followed it to the crossing of the Spokane River, or Herrin's Bridge, as the place was then called. This bridge was located near the Idaho line, about a half mile above the place where Col.

  • OLD FORT WALLA WALLA on the COLUMBIA RIVER the Beginning of the Mullan Road
    OLD FORT WALLA WALLA ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER The Beginning of the Mullan Road Old Fort Walla Walla, John Mix Stanley, 1853 Fur traders began coming to this area after the 1804-06 Lewis & Clark Expedition. In 1818, the Canadian North West Company established Fort Nez Perces, the first trading post in the area, near a tribal village and ancient gathering ground at the confluence of the Walla Walla and Columbia Rivers at Wallula. In 1821, the post became the Hudson's Bay Company’s Fort Walla Walla when the two fur companies merged. Fort Walla Walla was a major supply headquarters and rendezvous point for the HBC’s extensive operations in the Pacific Northwest. The Nez Perce trail used for millennia by regional tribes ran from the Columbia at Wallula east to the Blue Mountains, where it turned northeast to the Clearwater country. This route became an early part of the Oregon Trail where Marcus Whitman led the first wagon train to his Protestant mission at Waiilatpu just west of Walla Walla in 1844. In the Indian War of 1855 the fort was abandoned by the Hudson’s Bay Company and was sacked and burned by Walla Walla tribesmen. In 1856, a military Fort Walla Walla was established by the U.S. Army in what is now the city of Walla Walla. At Wallula, a steamship dock and the beginning of a village were built near the ruins of the old fort in 1859, and the first steamship to navigate the waters of the upper Columbia River arrived, the Colonel Wright.

    A Historic Property Inventory of Rock Structures in Spokane County, Washington 2016 SURVEY PROJECT REPORT By Stephen Emerson Maps by Pamela McKenney Submitted to the Spokane City/County Historic Landmarks Commission 2016 When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, “See: This our father did for us.” -John Ruskin.

  • Council Grove State Park Indian Education for All Lesson Plan Title
    A Collaborative Effort September 2006 Council Grove State Park Indian Education For All Lesson Plan Title Council Grove: Site of the Hellgate Treaty Content Area(s) Social Studies; Media Literacy Grade level 4th Duration 1-2 Hours Goals (Montana Standards/Essential Understandings) ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING 1: There is great diversity among the 12 tribal Nations of Montana in their languages, cultures, histories and governments. Each Nation has a distinct and unique cultural heritage that contributes to modern Montana. ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING 4: Reservations are land that have been reserved by the tribes for their own use through treaties and was not “given” to them. The principle that land should be acquired from the Indians only through their consent with treaties involved three assumptions: I. That both parties to treaties were sovereign powers. II. That Indian tribes had some form of transferable title to the land. III. That acquisition of Indian lands was solely a government matter not to be left to individual colonists. ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING 7: Under the American legal system, Indian tribes have sovereign powers separate and independent from the federal and state governments. However, the extent and breadth of tribal sovereignty is not the same for each tribe. Social Studies Content Standard 4: Students demonstrate an understanding of the effects of time, continuity, and change on historical and future perspectives and relationships. Speaking and Listening Content Standard 4: Students identify, analyze, and evaluate the impacts of effective speaking and evaluative listening. Reading Content Standard 5: Students gather, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information from a variety of sources, and communicate their findings in ways appropriate for their purposes and audiences.
