  • R1090) Cullimore Family
    Information Sheet R Cullimore family. 1090 Collection, 1973-1992. Four folders. This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. These are papers of the Cullimore family of journalists and outdoor writers. The collection consists of correspondence between Donald B. “Rocky” Cullimore and Dan Saults, and a compi- lation of Saults’s articles in Branson and Springfield, Missouri, newspapers. This collection represents the first installment of what will be a much larger assemblage of Cullimore family papers. It centers on conservationist and author Dan Saults, a close friend of the Cullimore family, and supplements materials in the Saults collection (WHMC-Rolla R403). Saults was a leader in promoting conservation efforts in Missouri. A native of Knob Noster, Mis- souri, he bought the Knob Noster Weekly Gem after graduating from the University of Missouri School of Journalism. He operated the paper until World War Two. Saults served as an officer in the 339th Infantry Regiment in North Africa and Italy during the war, after which he spent a year in Texas. In 1947, Saults joined the Missouri Department of Conservation, heading the depart- ment’s information service and editing the Missouri Conservationist. Later he became the deputy director of the department. In 1964, Saults joined the U. S. Department of the Interior and moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked with the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service. He retired in 1973. Saults and his wife, Helen, a former National Park Service employee, moved to a home near Branson, Missouri.

  • Appendix G - Roadless Area/Wilderness Evaluations and Wild and Scenic Rivers
    Appendix G - Roadless Area/Wilderness Evaluations and Wild and Scenic Rivers In accordance with 36 CFR 219.17, a new inventory of roadless areas was completed for this plan revision, and areas of the Ouachita National Forest that met the criteria for inclusion in the roadless area inventory (Chapter 7 of Forest Service Handbook 1909.12) were further evaluated for recommendation as potential wilderness areas. The reinventory of roadless areas included previously recognized roadless areas considered during development of the 1986 Forest Plan and the 1990 Amended Forest Plan. These areas were: Beech Creek, Rich Mountain, Blue Mountain, Brush Heap, Bear Mountain, and Little Blakely. Also, two areas near Broken Bow Lake in Southeastern Oklahoma, Bee Mountain and Ashford Peak, were identified in the January 2002 FEIS for Acquired Lands in Southeastern Oklahoma. Possible additions to existing wilderness areas were also considered. The roadless inventory for the Ouachita National Forest was updated for this iteration of plan revision using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Evaluation of the Forest for areas meeting the criterion of one-half mile of improved [National Forest System] road or less per 1,000 acres yielded a significant number of candidate polygons and all polygons over 1,000 acres in size were considered to determine if there were any possibility of expanding the area to a suitable size to warrant consideration as possible wilderness. Polygons meeting the initial criteria were further analyzed using criteria found in FSH 1909.12 (Chapter 7.11) to produce the inventoried roadless areas described in this appendix. The planning team determined that, of the former RARE II areas, the only ones that meet the criteria for inclusion in the roadless area inventory are portions of Blue Mountain and Brush Heap.

  • PADDY CREEK WILDERNESS Including: Paddy Creek Campground and Picnic Area and Big Piney Trailhead
    PADDY CREEK WILDERNESS Including: Paddy Creek Campground and Picnic Area and Big Piney Trailhead USDA Forest Service Mark Twain National Forest Welcome to: PADDY CREEK WILDERNESS The Paddy Creek Wilderness (boundary shown on map) became a federally designated Wilderness January 3, 1983. This 7035 acre wilderness is located in northwestern Texas County 35 miles southwest of Rolla, Missouri, and 16 miles west of Licking, Missouri. In the early 1800's, Sylvester Paddy began the first logging of the area. Timber from this area was transported by river to St. Louis to supply lumber needed for construction. From the mid and late 1800's until the 1930's, the area was homesteaded and grazed as open range. The area is characterized by Big Paddy and Little Paddy Creeks with steep cliffs and rock outcrops along these drainages. Both creeks have water in them throughout most of the year. Elevation changes 500 feet between a point near Roby Tower on the Western edge of the area and Paddy Creek, where it meets the eastern boundary of the Wilderness. The Wilderness is mostly forested with a few old fields in the drainages. Black, white and post oaks, as well as hickories and shortleaf pines are the main tree species. Mixed hardwood forests can be found along the drainages. Wildlife typical of the Missouri Ozarks is present throughout the area. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit, fox, coyote and bobcat are common. We ask your assistance to improve and maintain the area's wilderness character through compliance with the regulations and practices detailed in this brochure.
