This document was only internally reviewed for technical accuracy. This is version 2 of A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum Web Publication 2 first published online in 2016. The Copper Pavilion at the A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum exhibits a 19-ton mass of native copper recovered on the bottomland of Lake Superior on permanent loan from the State of Michigan, Department of Natural Resources. Discovery This Guinness World Record holding tabular mass of native copper, weighing approximately 19 tons, was recovered from the bottomlands of Lake Superior and is now on exhibit in the Copper Pavilion at the A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum of Michigan Tech referred to here as the "Lake Copper." Figure 1: Location of the Lake Copper shown in context with the generalized bedrock geology along the flank of the Midcontinent rift system (after Bornhorst and Lankton, 2009). 1 It was discovered in July of 1991 by local divers Bob Barron and Don Kauppi on the bottomlands of Lake Superior in about 30 feet of water northwest of Jacob’s Creek, Great Sand Bay between Eagle River and Eagle Harbor (Figure 1 and 2). The tabular Lake Copper was horizontal when discovered rather than vertical in the vein as it had fallen over.

Documented high-quality dry-mesic northern forest, granite bedrock glade, granite cliff, poor fen, northern wet meadow, and submergent marsh. The juxtaposition of high-quality bedrock features adjacent to high-quality wetlands was notable. In addition, the following natural communities were identified as inclusions or zones within these communities or were noted in passing during the course of surveys: rich conifer swamp, muskeg, and northern shrub thicket.

  • Glimpses of Early Dickinson County
    GLIMPSES OF EARLY DICKINSON COUNTY by William J. Cummings March, 2004 Evolution of Michigan from Northwest Territory to Statehood From 1787 to 1800 the lands now comprising Michigan were a part of the Northwest Territory. From 1800 to 1803 half of what is now the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and all of the Upper Peninsula were part of Indiana Territory. From 1803 to 1805 what is now Michigan was again part of the Northwest Territory which was smaller due to Ohio achieving statehood on March 1, 1803. From 1805 to 1836 Michigan Territory consisted of the Lower Peninsula and a small portion of the eastern Upper Peninsula. In 1836 the lands comprising the remainder of the Upper Peninsula were given to Michigan in exchange for the Toledo Strip. Michigan Territory Map, 1822 This map of Michigan Territory appeared in A Complete Historical, Chronological and Geographical American Atlas published by H.S. Carey and I. Lea in Philadelphia in 1822. Note the lack of detail in the northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula which were largely unexplored and inhabited by Native Americans at this time. Wiskonsan and Iowa, 1838 Michigan and Wiskonsan, 1840 EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! VULCAN – A number of Indians – men, women and children – came into town Wednesday last from Bad Water [sic] for the purpose of selling berries, furs, etc., having with them a lot of regular Indian ponies. They make a novel picture as they go along one after the other, looking more like Indians we read about than those usually seen in civilization, and are always looked upon in wonderment by strangers, though it has long since lost its novelty to the residents here.

  • Off-Roaders in Action
    CALIFORNIA OFF­ROAD VEHICLE ASSOCIATION Volume 21 Issue 4 November 2008 CORVA OFF­ROADERS CALIFORNIA OFF-ROAD VEHICLE ASSOCIATION www.corva.org IN ACTION A United Front Currently the motorized recreation community is facing a number of major land use issues throughout the state of California which threaten our legitimate access to public lands. Nowhere is this threat better illustrated than the recent proposal from the Department of Defense (DOD) to transfer all or part of the 189,000 acre Johnson Valley OHV Area from the BLM (with open access) to the military (with no public access). Based on this recent proposal, representatives from state, local and national OHV organizations have met several times to formulate a comprehensive response. While we certainly support proper training of our troops, especially during a time of war, the groups agreed to champion alternatives or options that will allow the military to fulfill its need without losing a sin­ gle acre of our beloved recreation opportunities. In order to be fully prepared to engage in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process that the DOD is required to follow, we will continue to work together to form cohesive strategies and alternatives. We will be submitting comments that will require the DOD to justify the need for this land, especially given the impacts to the OHV recreation, the local com­ munity, and the surrounding environment. We will also seek the advice of our attorneys and lobbyists. Most important, our goal is to use the NEPA process to stop the Marines from moving into Johnson Valley.

  • Executive Summary
    Ontonagon River Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This river assessment is one of a series of documents being prepared by Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), Fisheries Division, for Michigan rivers. This report describes the physical and biological characteristics of the Ontonagon River, discusses how human activities have influenced the river, and serves as an information base for future management activities. Our approach is consistent with Fisheries Division’s mission to “protect and enhance fish environments, habitat, and populations and other forms of aquatic life and to promote the optimum use of these resources for the benefit of the people of Michigan.” River assessments are intended to provide a comprehensive reference for citizens and agency personnel seeking information on a particular river. By compiling and synthesizing existing information, river assessments reveal the complex relationships between rivers, watershed landscapes, biological communities, and humans. This assessment shows the influence of humans on the Ontonagon River and provides an approach for identifying opportunities and addressing problems related to aquatic resources in the Ontonagon River watershed. We hope that this document will increase public awareness of the Ontonagon River and its challenges, and encourage citizens to become more actively involved in decision-making processes that provide sustainable benefits to the river and its users. This document consists of three parts: an introduction, a river assessment, and management options. The river assessment is the nucleus of the report. It provides a description of the Ontonagon River and its watershed in thirteen sections: geography, history, geology, hydrology, soils and land use, channel morphology, dams and barriers, water quality, special jurisdictions, biological communities, fishery management, recreational use, and citizen involvement.

The preferred option will maintain the current boardwalk configuration in the basin, and make improvements to the trail from the main park road. The geothermal basin and the trail to it are closed this year, for work on the trail. According park spokeswoman Karen Haner, the necessary approvals for the work are expected in May, but due to snow at the park work won’t start then. The first step will be replacing the boardwalks with new structures designed to handle winter snow loads and the acidic conditions in the basin. They would be modular and could be moved as necessitated by the changes of the thermal features. The preferred alternative calls for enlarging the viewing platforms in the basin at both the Big Boiler and Pyrite Pool.
