Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers
Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers By Bill Starr State Director of the Forest Fire Lookout Association Forest Fire Observer – Pillsbury Mountain © Copyright 2009 Unpublished Work Roster of the New York State Fire Tower Forest Fire Observers Table of Content: Introduction…………………………………1 The Roster…………………………………...2 List of the NYS Fire Towers….....................56 February 2009 Fire Tower Inventory……..59 Fire Tower Location Map………………….60 Number of Fires Spotted Graph…………...60 Historical Notes on Certain Fire Towers….61 Roster of the NYS Forest Fire Observers from the payroll file of the Bureau of Forest Fire Control 1911 – 1972 © Copyright 2009 Unpublished Work by Bill Starr The following roster of the New York State Forest Fire Observers was compiled from the index card payroll file of the Bureau of Forest Fire Control from 1911 through 1972. 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. -
Geomorphology of the Southeastern Tug Hill Plateau Ernest H. Muller Department of Geology
Geomorphology of the Southeastern Tug Hill Plateau Ernest H. Muller Department of Geology. Syracuse University, Syracuse. NY INTRODUCT ION Few areas of comparable size in New York State are less accessible or l ess well known than the heart of the Tug Hill Plateau. The heaviest snow falls in the eastern states make for brief growing seasons. Extensive tracts cleared and farmed in the past century have returned to second growth. The road net involves only jeep trails between a few broadly spaced transverse highways. Although isolated by peripheral lowlands -- the Black River Low l ands on the north and east, the Ontario lowlands on the west and the Oneida l-1ohawk lowlands on the south - - the Tug Hill ;s a crudely triangular out lier of the Southern New York Section of the Appalachian Plateaus Province. Rough accordance of summit elevations (e.g. 1960 ft at Gomer Hill. 1920 ft at ttl hawk Hill) led Newell (1940) to relate physiographic history of the Tug Hill to that of the adjacent Appalachian Plateaus to the south, ascri bing a major role to Tertiary peneplanation. Regional dip southwesterly away from the Adirondack Massif led Hanefeld (1960) to stress the cuesta form nature of the Tug Hill. The scarped east-facing border of the plateau contrasts with the gradual southerly and westerly dip slopes. Indeed both peneplanation and cuesta form development convey true. but incomplete im pressions of the regional character of the Tug Hill subprovince. Each is incomplete in fai ling to emphas ize the role of prolonged and repeated Pleistocene glaciation in isolating the plateau. -

5 August 2020 Cait Schadock US Army Installation Fort Drum NEPA Coordinator, Directorate of Public Works 4896 Jones Street Fort Drum, NY 13602-5097 Email: [email protected] RE: Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) for the potential of environmental impacts of increasing mission and training activities (high intensity, multi-day training events) at Fort Drum Army Installation and within the Local Flying Area (LFA) of Fort Drum. To whom it may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) for the proposed action to increase the air and land based training activities conducted by the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade and the 10th Sustainment Brigade including in the training areas located in the following nine counties Essex, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, and St. Lawrence (excluding all Sovereign Nation Indian Lands). We respectfully request that you consider the following concerns and comments outlined below. The Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) is flawed and must be rescinded. This proposed action requires a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The proposed action will impact public lands and communities within the Fort Drum Local Flying Area (LFA) significantly as defined by 40 CFR § 1508.27. The Action Will Impact Public Lands The PEA and Draft FNSI state that “Fort Drum’s intent is to prioritize the use of public -
