  • Stehekin River Classification
    Stehekin Wild & Scenic River Eligibility Report FINAL DRAFT May 2002 Acknowledgments . The National Park Service gratefully acknowledges the support and assistance of the U.S. Forest Service Wenatchee and Okanogan National Forests – their assistance was critical in this report’s development. Special thanks also to the staff at the North Cascades National Park for helping to make the field work a very pleasant and informative experience. Executive Summary This study report evaluates the eligibility and classification of the Stehekin River watershed, located in the North Cascades Mountains of Washington State, as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (National System). This evaluation is done partially in settlement of a cause of action brought by the North Cascades Conservation Council1, but primarily as a Department of the Interior requirement for normal management planning processes. The Stehekin River and its tributaries constitute a comparatively small watershed. Most of the natural and cultural resources found in the watershed are dependent not just on the main stem of the Stehekin River, but also on its tributaries. There is also no clear demarcation between most resources throughout the watershed. For these reasons, it is appropriate to consider the entire Stehekin River system as a single unit for the purposes of this evaluation, with the exception of classifying segments of the river as described later. Under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (Act), the river must meet physical requirements (eligibility). These physical requirements are: 1) the river must be free-flowing; and 2) the river must have at least one resource important or unique to the region or nation.

On the flanks of the mountains are 519 glaciers, in 9 3 square mites of ice - three times as much living ice as in all the rest of the forty-eight states put together. The great river valleys contain the last remnants of the magnificent Pacific Northwest Rain Forest of immense Douglas Fir, cedar, and hemlock. f'oss and ferns carpet the forest floor, and wild• life abounds.

  • Great Northern Railway, New Cascade Tunnel
    14 ew Cascade Tunnel Great Northern ailway The Cascade Mountain Crossing of the Great Northern Railway "When the Pacific extension has been completed, your company will have a continuous rail line from Lake Superior, St. Paul and Minneapolis to the Pacific Coast, shorter than any existing transcontinental railway and with lower grades and less curvatures. The policy of improving the property, which has given such good results in the past, is still being followed." James J. Hill in Great Northern Railway annual report for 1890 The physical advantages mentioned above still prevail and the completion of the longest railway tunnel in the Americas is proof that the policy of improving the property is still being followed. On Thanksgiving Day, 1925, the Directors authorized the most extensive improvement project ever undertaken on the Great Northern. It involved the construction of a long tunnel piercing the backbone of the Cascade Range, the relocation of all but 7 miles of the old 50-mile line between Peshastin and Scenic, the elimination of nearly 12 miles of tunnels and snow- sheds and the electrification of 75 miles of road between Appleyard (near Wenatchee) and Skykomish. This program is now completed at a cost of $25,000,000. When the Pacific extension was begun at Havre in 1890, the outstanding engineering problem consisted of finding the best route across the Cascade Mountains. John F. Stevens, in December, 1889, had discovered Marias Pass, which gave the Great Northern by far the best Rocky Mountain crossing in the United States north of New Mexico, and immediately thereafter James J.

  • Lake Chelan Basin Overview View ‘Up-Lake’ of 90 Km (50 Mile) Long, 453 M (1486 Ft.) Deep Lake Chelan
    J. Riedel Contributions to the 2018 Pacific Northwest Friends of the Pleistocene Field Conference Stop 1.2: Lake Chelan Basin Overview View ‘up-lake’ of 90 km (50 mile) long, 453 m (1486 ft.) deep Lake Chelan. There are three basins comprising Lake Chelan separated by bedrock sills: Stehekin, Lucerne, and Wapato (Figure 2). The Lucerne Basin is the deepest and longest, with relief of > 3200 m (10,660 000 ft.) from the bedrock floor of the valley to the summit of Bonanza Peak (2900 m) on its west valley wall (Figure 2). The shallower Wapato Basin is in part dammed by glacial drift south of Chelan (Stop 1.4; Runner 1921). Figure 1. Location of Lake Chelan in north-central Washington. Blue arrows at top indicate Fisher and Rainy passes, where Cordilleran Ice Sheet entered Chelan watershed. Waitt (2017) noted the ice sheet was 760 m thick over Rainy Pass. Figure 2. Longitudinal profile of the bottom of Lake Chelan (top) and seismic profiling of sub-bottom (UW and NPS unpublished). The Lucerne and Stehekin basins are superimposed on resistant Skagit Gneiss and Tertiary igneous bedrock. The upper part of the valley is cut into resistant gneiss, which allows the canyon walls to stand near vertically along the upper lake. The deepest part of Lake Chelan occurs in the Lucerne Basin in The Straits near Falls Creek, where the bedrock changes from gneiss to erodible volcanic rocks and schist. The lower two basins are separated at the Narrows, an accumulation of landslide debris from Slide Ridge on the south shore, and bedrock on the north shore (Whetten, 1967).
