  • 2. Blue Hills 2001
    Figure 1. Major landscape regions and extent of glaciation in Wisconsin. The most recent ice sheet, the Laurentide, was centered in northern Canada and stretched eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, north to the Arctic Ocean, west to Montana, and southward into the upper Midwest. Six lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet entered Wisconsin. Scale 1:500,000 10 0 10 20 30 PERHAPS IT TAKES A PRACTICED EYE to appreciate the landscapes of Wisconsin. To some, MILES Wisconsin landscapes lack drama—there are no skyscraping mountains, no monu- 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 mental canyons. But to others, drama lies in the more subtle beauty of prairie and KILOMETERS savanna, of rocky hillsides and rolling agricultural fi elds, of hillocks and hollows. Wisconsin Transverse Mercator Projection The origin of these contrasting landscapes can be traced back to their geologic heritage. North American Datum 1983, 1991 adjustment Wisconsin can be divided into three major regions on the basis of this heritage (fi g. 1). The fi rst region, the Driftless Area, appears never to have been overrun by glaciers and 2001 represents one of the most rugged landscapes in the state. This region, in southwestern Wisconsin, contains a well developed drainage network of stream valleys and ridges that form branching, tree-like patterns on the map. A second region— the northern and eastern parts of the state—was most recently glaciated by lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which reached its maximum extent about 20,000 years ago. Myriad hills, ridges, plains, and lakes characterize this region. A third region includes the central to western and south-central parts of the state that were glaciated during advances of earlier ice sheets.

The objective was to provide an updated survey (a previous survey had been completed by Peter J. Adams in 1982) of the architectural and historical resources located within the City of Neenah. The ultimate purpose of such a survey is to identify those historic districts and/or individual properties that are potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

The Tri-State Geological Field Conference was founded in 1933 as an informal geological field trip for professionals and students in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. The first Tri-State examined the LaSalle Anticline in Illinois. Fifty-two geologists from the University of Chicago, University of Iowa, University of Illinois, Northwestern University, University of Wisconsin, Northern Illinois State Teachers College, Western Illinois Teachers College, and the Illinois State Geological Survey attended that trip (Anderson, 1980). The 1934 field conference was hosted by the University of Wisconsin and the 1935 by the University of Iowa, establishing the rotation between the three states. The 1947 Tri-State visited quarries at Hamilton Mound and High Cliff, two of the stops on this year’s field trip.

  • 1. Issues and Opportunities
    1. Issues and Opportunities 1.1 Introduction The City of Menasha Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan will guide the future of the City of Menasha for the next 25 years. This document meets the requirements of Wisconsin’s Comprehensive Planning Legislation, Wisconsin Statutes 66.1001. Development of the City of Menasha Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan was in response to the passage of Wisconsin’s comprehensive planning legislation (Statute 66.1001). This law requires all municipalities (counties, cities, towns, and villages) to adopt a comprehensive plan by the year 2010 if they wish to make certain local land use decisions. After the year 2010, any municipality that regulates land use must make their zoning, subdivision/land division, shoreland/floodplain, and official mapping decisions in accordance with that community’s comprehensive plan. A community is often motivated to plan by the issues it must address and the opportunities it wishes to pursue. In addition, a community must react to local, regional, state, and national trends that influence development patterns and service levels. However, a community is more than the borders which encompass it as a part of the region, state, and nation. A community is defined by the people who live and work there, the houses and businesses, the parks and natural features, its past, its present, and its future. No matter the location, change is the one certainty that visits all places, and no community is immune to its affects. How a community changes, how that change is perceived, and how change is managed all have a direct impact on the community.

Later on I prepared the maps which appear, showing the evolution of Columbia County, which are now published for the first time. The matter fell under the obser- vation of Mr. S. C.
