The Ho-Chunk Native Americans originally occupied the land that is now Monroe County until Ma removal treaty was signed in 1837. Although most of the Native Americans were moved into western states at that time, many returned to live among the early white settlers. In October of 1842, the first settler came into Monroe County, a man named Esau Johnson. He built a little cabin in the Town of Sheldon and moved into it with his family. When he arrived in Monroe County, which was then still part of La Crosse County, there were no other white people living on the land. But in the late 1840s, western expansion brought several other settlers to the area. The opening of the state road between Hudson and Prairie du Chien, which passed through what is now Sparta, and the establishment of the road between Portage and La Crosse, brought new settlers. The majority of the people coming to Monroe County during the first decades came from New York. While overland travel opened this territory for early pioneers, it was the laying of track that grew these early communities into villages and cities. Railroad surveyors came in 1854, connecting Sparta to Milwaukee and La Crosse in 1858. This Railroad became the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad in 1872, expanding the reach of the line. The growth of Monroe County in the 1860s and 1870s also attracted the interest of the Chicago and North Western Railroad Company. In 1873, the Chicago North Western opened a line through Monroe County to compete with the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad. This line would operate until the 1960s, ultimately being converted to the Elroy-Sparta Bike Trail. The population of Monroe County continued to grow throughout the late 19th century. The largest group of immigrants making the county their home were the Germans, followed in number by the Norwegians and Irish. By 1900, most of Monroe County was settled and farms and small towns dotted the countryside. The main industry in the county was agriculture, but most communities had some industrial development. Wheat farming transitioned to dairy farming by the turn of the century and cranberry production in the north-east corner of the county grew. The new century would bring many changes to the county, such as the establishment of Fort McCoy, the creation of the Interstate System, and Take a trip the founding of the Elroy-Sparta Bike Trail, but through time at agriculture would remain an the Monroe County important part of History Museum the economy.

  • Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706
    Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706 To: the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Re: implementation of Act 168, The Sporting Heritage Act For the sake of public safety, we recommend that the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Board close to hunting and trapping those non-designated use areas in State Parks that are regularly used for rock climbing, ice climbing, and bouldering. Our specific recommendations are detailed below. Climbing in State Parks Rock climbing is a traditional outdoor recreation with nearly a century-long history in Wisconsin, and is recognized as such in NR 1.33. Rock climbing, like hunting, is allowed solely in non-designated use areas. Some DNR personnel are aware that climbing goes on at some State Parks, but none have a thorough understanding of when and where rock climbing occurs. NR 1.33 stipulates that rock climbing be considered in planning, but for decades this has been at best inconsistent. The previous hunting maps and the currently proposed hunting and trapping maps for State Parks demonstrate this lack of knowledge and lack of consideration. Our recommendations are intended to fill that gap. Hunting and Climbing What hunters gain from Act 168 are simplified regulations. No more special permits for State Parks. If hunting is in season anywhere, it is in season in State Parks, and with any weapon for any game. Trapping will essentially be another form of hunting. Both the NRB and the DNR have stated that implementation of Act 168 should give hunters the maximum opportunity to hunt, without displacing other park users.

    Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Prepared by: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with Assistance from Conservation Partners, June 30th, 2008 06/19/2008 page 2 of 93 Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Acknowledgments Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan is a roadmap of conservation actions needed to ensure our wildlife and natural communities will be with us in the future. The original plan provides an immense volume of data useful to help guide conservation decisions. All of the individuals acknowledged for their work compiling the plan have a continuous appreciation from the state of Wisconsin for their commitment to SGCN. Implementing the conservation actions is a priority for the state of Wisconsin. To put forward a strategy for implementation, there was a need to develop a process for priority decision-making, narrowing the list of actions to a more manageable number, and identifying opportunity areas to best apply conservation actions. A subset of the Department’s ecologists and conservation scientists were assigned the task of developing the implementation strategy. Their dedicated commitment and tireless efforts for wildlife species and natural community conservation led this document.

  • Interim Forest Management Plan Mill Bluff State Park
    Interim Forest Management Plan Mill Bluff State Park Property Identifiers Property Name and Designation: Mill Bluff State Park Counties: Monroe & Juneau Property Acreage: 1588 Forestry Property Code(s): 4237 Master Plan Date: Concept Element Document – October 24, 1979 Part 1: Property assessment The mission of Mill Bluff State Park (MBSP) is to protect and enhance the natural and cultural resources while providing high quality recreational and educational opportunities and programs. Some of the activities at the park include camping, hiking, swimming, picnicking, nature programs, biking, wildlife viewing, and hunting. Landscape and regional context MBSP lies in two Ecological Landscapes: the Central Sand Plains (CSP) and the Western Coulee and Ridges (WCR). The majority (93%) of the park is on the eastern edge of CSP. This landscape is characterized by an extensive, nearly level expanse of lacustrine and outwash sand that originated from a huge glacial lake characterizes much of the Central Sand Plains. Sand was deposited in Glacial Lake Wisconsin by outwash derived from melting glaciers to the north. Exposures of eroded sandstone bedrock remnants as buttes, mounds, and pinnacles are unique to this Ecological Landscape. Soils are excessively drained, with very rapid permeability, very low available water capacity, and low nutrient status. In lower-lying terrain where silty lacustrine material impedes drainage, the water table is very close to the surface. Hydrology has been greatly disrupted by past drainage, channelization, impoundment construction, and groundwater withdrawal. Many of the historic wetlands in the east part of the Landscape were drained early in the 1900s and are now used for agricultural purposes.

  • Ice Age National Scenic Trail
    ICE AGE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL A HANDBOOK for TRAIL DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION and MAINTENANCE National Park Service • Wisconsin Department of* Natural Resources • Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation Ice Age National Scenic Trail Handbook A HANDBOOK FOR TRAIL DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE ICE AGE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL United States Department of the Interior • National Park Service Ice Age National Scenic Trail Handbook The Ice Age National Scenic Trail (NST) extends for more than 1,000 miles across the State of Wisconsin, winding through a myriad of ecosystems and political jurisdictions. Its design, construction, and maintenance is carried out by government agencies, volunteers from the Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation, and other private organizations in 31 counties. Understandably, the level of trail building experience and expectations have often differed among those involved. With the increasing popularity of the Ice Age NST, there is greater public expectation of a superlative hiking experience on this rare National Scenic Trail. To help meet these expectations, a more consistent application of standards in the development and maintenance of the Ice Age NST are needed across the state. This handbook was created as a tool for both volunteers and professional staff to achieve more consistency in trail standards. Starting with the primary mission of the Ice Age Trail and the experience it provides to users, the handbook outlines guidelines for maintaining and creating the trail. It also provides a broad range of technical information, such as how to lay out and build the trail, types of trail structures and their required permitting processes, proper maintenance and inventory of existing trail, survey of important trail building tools, and much more.
