Bradley, and Diane S. Hassell This page intentionally left blank. 2 Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan. On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. In particular, this assistance was provided by Deby Snodgrass, Kris Marek, and Doug Hawthorne – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. However, it was particularly the assistance provided by Grant Gerondale, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, that initiated the work associated with this RMP. Grant provided a number of documents, hosted an on-site tour of the Ancient Forest, and shared his passion for this property. It is the purpose of the Resource Management Plan to be a living document to assist with decisions related to the resources within the park and the management of those resources. The authors’ desire is to assist decision-makers in providing high quality outdoor recreation experiences and resources for current visitors, while protecting the experiences and the resources for future generations.

  • Fluvial Geomorphology Analysis of the Kiamichi River, Oklahoma
    W 2800.7 F293 no. T-l9-P-l 6/04-6/06 c.l FLUVIAL GEOMORPHOLOGY ANALYSIS OF THE KIAMICIll RIVER, OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION' JUNE 1,2004 through JUNE 30, 2006 A comprehensive geomorphic analysis of the Kiamichi River, Oklahoma was conducted to characterize the current landscape, fluvial geomorphic condition, flow and sediment regimes, and to identify potential impacts from the impoundment of the Jackfork Creek tributary to the morphological form and function of the river. The Kiamichi River channel has changed little over the last 25 years. It was classified as a Rosgen F type stream and had a basin relief ratio of 0.00345. The Kiamichi River Basin is classified as a Rosgen X type valley. Meander wavelength increased significantly in the downstream direction; the average reach meander wavelength ranged from 11 to 60 mean reach bankfull widths. Bankfull width, bankfull area, width:depth ratio, and channel stability increased in the downstream direction. Although there was no significant change in substrate size longitudinally, the percentage of gravel and cobble substrate increased and the percentage of bedrock decreased in the downstream direction. Bankfull discharge increased in the downstream direction, as expected. The majority of sites sampled were classified as Rosgen F4 stream types. The effective discharge (Qe) at the Big Cedar gaging station was estimated to be 4500 cubic feet per second (cfs) with a threshold discharge (Qt) of 0.1 cfs. The Antlers gaging station Qe was estimated to be 25,000 cfs with a Qt of 3.5 cfs. Deposition bar area below the Jackfork Creek tributary has increased over time.
