  • Park Report Part 1
    Alcatraz Island Golden Gate National Recreation Area Physical History PRE-EUROPEAN (Pre-1776) Before Europeans settled in San Francisco, the area was inhabited by Native American groups including the Miwok, in the area north of San Francisco Bay (today’s Marin County), and the Ohlone, in the area south of San Francisco Bay (today’s San Francisco peninsula). Then, as today, Alcatraz had a harsh environment –strong winds, fog, a lack of a fresh water source (other than rain or fog), rocky terrain –and there was only sparse vegetation, mainly grasses. These conditions were not conducive to living on the island. These groups may have used the island for a fishing station or they may have visited it to gather seabird eggs since the island did provide a suitable habitat for colonies of seabirds. However, the Miwok and Ohlone do not appear to have lived on Alcatraz or to have visibly altered its landscape, and no prehistoric archeological sites have been identified on the island. (Thomson 1979: 2, Delgado et al. 1991: 8, and Hart 1996: 4). SPANISH AND MEXICAN PERIOD (1776-1846) Early Spanish explorers into Alta California encountered the San Francisco Bay and its islands. (Jose Francisco Ortega saw the bay during his scouting for Gaspar de Portola’s 1769 expedition, and Pedro Fages described the three major islands –Angel, Alcatraz, and Yerba Buena –in his journal from the subsequent 1772 expedition.) However, the first Europeans to record their visit to Alcatraz were aboard the Spanish ship San Carlos, commanded by Juan Manuel de Ayala that sailed through the Golden Gate and anchored off Angel Island in August 1775.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The purpose of this book is twofold: to provide general information for anyone interested in the California islands and to serve as a field guide for visitors to the islands. The book covers both general history and nat- ural history, from the geological origins of the islands through their aboriginal inhabitants and their marine and terrestrial biotas. Detailed coverage of the flora and fauna of one island alone would completely fill a book of this size; hence only the most common, most readily observed, and most interesting species are included. The names used for the plants and animals discussed in this book are the most up-to-date ones available, based on the scientific literature and the most recently published guidebooks. Common names are always subject to local variations, and they change constantly. Where two names are in common use, they are both mentioned the first time the organism is discussed. Ironically, in recent years scientific names have changed more recently than common names, and the reader concerned about a possible discrepancy in nomenclature should consult the scientific literature. If a significant nomenclatural change has escaped our notice, we apologize. For plants, our primary reference has been The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, edited by James C. Hickman, including the latest lists of errata. Variation from the nomenclature in that volume is due to more recent interpretations, as explained in the text. Certain abbreviations used throughout the text may not be immedi- ately familiar to the general reader; they are as follows: sp., species (sin- gular); spp., species (plural); n.

In my special message on the environment of February 8, 1971, I stressed the importance of wilderness areas as part of a comprehensive open space system. In these un- spoiled lands, contemporary man can encounter the character and beauty of primitive America -- and learn, through the encounter, the vital lesson of human interdependence with the natural environment. Today, I am pleased to transmit fourteen proposals which would add to the National Wilderness System vast areas where nature still predominates. These areas are briefly described below. (1) Simeonof National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska -- 25,140 acres of a unique wildlife environment: the bio- logically productive lands and waters of Simeonof Island off the coast of Alaska. (2) North Cascades National Park, Washington — 515,880 acres in two areas in North Cascades Park and Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas.

  • Suspect Terrane at Pigeon Point, San Mateo County, California
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Late Cretaceous Pollen from the Salinian(?) Suspect Terrane at Pigeon Point, San Mateo County, California By Norman O. Frederiksen1 Open-File Report 90-523 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. lReston, Virginia Abstract The Companion to Maastrichtian Pigeon Point Formation is confined to southwestern San Mateo County, California; the formation is spatially isolated from similar Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The basement on which the formation rests is not exposed, but the Pigeon Point block is thought by most authors to be part of the Salinian suspect terrane. Reconstructions based on paleomagnetic data have indicated that the Pigeon Point block originated at the continental margin and was then transported some 2,500 km northward since deposition of this formation, but other studies suggest that the Pigeon Point Formation instead may have originated well within the southwestern part of the North American continent. This report describes the flora from two samples of the Pigeon Point Formation; at least 16 angiosperm pollen species have been found, as well as several potentially significant species of spores and gymnosperm pollen. A comparison of this flora with those from Upper Cretaceous suspect terranes of California and British Columbia, and from autochthonous Upper Cretaceous sedimentary units in the Central Valley of California and the Western Interior region of New Mexico, shows that the Pigeon Point flora belongs to the continental margin floristic province, and the most similar known flora in that province is from an upper Campanian to lower Maastrichtian unit lying on the Salinian terrane in the La Panza Range of San Luis Obispo County.
