    Grant Utley Narrator Carol Ryan Interviewer August 20, 1977 Cass Lake, Minnesota Grant Utley -GT Carol Ryan -CR CR: This is a Star Island history interview. We're interviewing Grant Utley, Cass Lake, MN. It's August 20, 1977. We're in the Cass Lake Times Office. Carol Ryan ofProject Star Island, interviewer. Can we start again with when Cass Lake began - the date? GT: In 1898, when they connected the Great Northern Railway from DeerSociety River to Fosston to complete the railroad from Grand Forks to Duluth and Superior. CR: 1898 was also the date of the Indian battle downHistory at Leech Lake, and this village was being formed at the same time. What about Star Island? When did people start coming to that area? GT: Well, they mentioned this in the history - but they called it by a French name La Grande Isle - and they said that at one time it had eitherOral a Hudson's Bay post or American Fur post on there, just where, I don't know. Historical GT: But there was a fellow by the name of Hank Buring, he was a Deputy Sheriff from Itasca County; and before they put the railroad in there, he was sent by the Sheriff, Mike Toole at Grand Rapids to pick up an Indian at Red Lake. He said he walked. There was no railroad or anything, and he walked across Islandthe country, Where Allen's Bay is, there was the remains of a post there, in pretty good condition, with the name on it. But nobody was there, he said, but that was before anything came in here.

  • Knutson Dam Project Information Project Summary

    Knutson Dam Project Information Project Summary

    Knutson Dam Project Information Project Summary The Knutson Dam project area is located on the Chippewa National Forest, in the Mississippi River watershed, and at the Mississippi River outlet on the northshore of Cass Lake. The Mississippi River is renowned world- wide and supplies significant social, economic and natural resource benefits to the Chippewa NF, Minnesota and our Nation. Knutson Dam was originally built in the early 1900’s as a logging dam, enabling the downstream movement of harvested timber via the river corridor. In 1926, the Forest Service purchased the dam under Public Law 270 and was subsequently responsible for the management and maintenance of the dam. Since then, the dam has not been actively used for logging purposes, but rather to regulate the water levels of the immediately upstream and downstream lakes; and the river. Over the years, management of the dam and water levels involved many partners, including the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR), US Army Corps of Engineers and the Chippewa NF. Expanded benefits of water level management include providing appropriate fish spawning conditions, recreational access, and limiting high and/or low water level extremes. The deteriorating physical condition of Knutson Dam, (as inventoried in 2011), and a forest-wide watershed assessment at the same time, created an opportunity to address the many structural and natural resource issues the dam has created. Subsequently, in collaboration with the MN DNR, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, and the Army Corp of Engineers,

    Cass Lake 04-0030-00 BELTRAMI COUNTY Lake Water Quality Summary Cass Lake is located at the city of Cass Lake, MN, and spans both Cass and Beltrami Counties. It covers 15,958 acres and is the 8th largest lake in Minnesota in terms of surface area. Cass Lake has four inlets and one outlet, which classify it as a drainage lake. Water enters Cass Lake from the Mississippi River, Kitchi Lake, Pike Bay, and a ground-fed stream in the northeast. The Mississippi River enters and exits Cass Lake. Cass Lake water levels are affected by the operation of two dams on the Mississippi River. Otter Tail Power Company operates a dam upstream, just below Stump Lake. At the Cass Lake outlet is Knutson Dam, owned and operated by the U.S. Forest Service. A Superfund cleanup site exists on Pike Bay near the south side of Cass Lake. Water quality data have been collected on Cass Lake at various sites from 1979-2015 (Tables 2 & 3). These data show that the lake is mesotrophic (TSI = 44) with moderately clear water conditions most of the summer and excellent recreational opportunities. Cass Lake does not have an association. Its water quality is managed by the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Division of Resource Management. Table 1. Cass Lake location and key physical characteristics.

This plan is based on a fish community approach to fisheries management and serves as an extension of the 2016-2020 Leech Lake Fisheries Management Plan Background Declines in Walleye and Yellow Perch populations during the early to mid-2000s prompted the development of an evolving series of management objectives and actions with more citizen involvement in management plan development. Walleye and perch populations recovered as a result of these actions but perch abundance again declined.
