  • Chapter 3 Refuge Resources
    Chapter 3 USFWS Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge Refuge Resources . Physical Environment . Biological Environment . Socioeconomic Environment . Historical Picture . Refuge Administration . Refuge Public Use . Finding of Appropriateness of a Refuge Use . Compatibility Determinations Refuge Resources Chapter 3 Refuge Resources Physical Environment Iroquois Refuge was established in 1958 and encompasses 10,828 acres of open water, emergent marsh, forested wetland, upland forest, grassland, and shrubland. The refuge lies within the rural towns of Alabama (Genesee County) and Shelby (Orleans County) of western New York. The physical environment, expressed through climate, geology, topography, and soils, explains much about the patterns and distribution of biological diversity. These patterns describe natural divisions, called biophysical regions or ecoregions. Organizing the physical environment into ecoregions helps us understand, conserve, and manage wildlife and biodiversity. Ecoregions are relatively large geographic areas of land and water defined by common climate, geology, and vegetation patterns. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) classified New York into seven ecoregions. Iroquois Refuge is in the Great Lakes Ecoregion (map 3-1), a region formed during the last glacial advance 14,000 years ago and characterized by gently rolling, low level landscapes and flat lake plains (NYSDEC 2005). USFWS Blue Jay The refuge lies within the 173,975-acre Oak Orchard watershed which is within the Southwest Lake Ontario (SWLO) Basin, a subwatershed of the Great Lakes watershed (map 1-2 and 1-7). Iroquois Refuge, Oak Orchard WMA, and Tonawanda WMA together form the 19,000-acre Tonawanda- Iroquois-Oak Orchard Wetland Complex (map 1-3). The Complex is primarily wetland habitat consisting of emergent marsh, forested wetland, wet meadow, and shrub wetland, interspersed with areas of grassland and upland hardwood forest.

  • The Orleans County Shorelinetownsofkendall. Carlton
    SECTION II: INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS A. POPULATION CHARACfERlSTICS AND LAND USE The Orleans County shorelineTowns ofKendall. Carlton andYatespossess varied land use and socioeconomic characteristics. This section will describe these characteristics, so important to community life and development 1. Socioeconomic Characteristics Although thethree lakeshore townspossess thesame LakeOntario shoreline and similar size population, there are considerable differences among the towns reflecting different opportunities, historical development and geography. 3 . Historic Overview Orleans County is locatedon thefertileLakeplain in Western New York State along Lake Ontario (see Map 2.1). The County is the smallest in both population (38,496) and area (396 square miles) among the eight western counties. It is located between the Rochester and BuffalolNiagara Falls metropolitan areas which have introduced significant urban influences into parts ofthe County. Nearly 40% ofthe County's employed residents work outside the County. Although rural, the County is part of the federally designated Rochester Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). The proximity to the urban areas has had a pronounced effect upon the County's development patterns. The historic Ridge Road (Route 104) first served as an Indiantrail, then as a war route during the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 connecting the Genessee River with Lewiston and FortNiagara. The County, however, remained largely undeveloped until the 1820's when the Erie Canal was constructed through the central part ofthe County. Growth carne rapidly to the area particularly through the central comer of Holley, Albion (the County seat) and Medina. This central, east-west corridor contains over one-third of the total County population. The northern towns remained sparsely populated and largely in agriculture or forests until the 1870's.
