Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Draft General Management Plan National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Apostle Islands National Lakeshore • Wisconsin July 2009 APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE Draft General Management Plan Wilderness Management Plan Environmental Impact Statement Draft General Management Plan / Wilderness Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Bayfield and Ashland Counties, Wisconsin ____________________________________________________________________________________ Apostle Islands National Lakeshore was authorized by an act of Congress on September 26, 1970 (Public Law 91-424). The last comprehensive management plan for the park was completed in 1989. Much has changed since then—visitor use patterns and types have changed, people are seeking out new recreational activities in the park, and the Gaylord Nelson Wilderness was designated in December 2004. Each of these changes has implications for how visitors access and use the park, the facilities needed to support those uses, how resources are managed, and how the National Park Service manages its operations. A new plan is needed. This document examines four alternatives for managing Apostle Islands National Lakeshore for the next 15–20 years. It also analyzes the impacts of implementing each of the alternatives. The “no-action” alternative, alternative 1, consists of the existing park management and serves as a basis for comparison in evaluating the other alternatives. The concept for park management under alternative 2 would be to provide opportunities for more people to have an island experience. The concept for park management under alternative 3 would be to provide primitive, lake-oriented recreation and education opportunities that include some new and different opportunities. The emphasis in alternative 4 would be on providing a greater variety of structured recreation opportunities on the islands, in nonwilderness areas, and on the mainland. Alternative 2 is the National Park Service’s preferred alternative. This Draft General Management Plan / Wilderness Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement has been distributed to other agencies and interested organizations and individuals for their review and comment. The public comment period for this document will last for 60 days after the Environmental Protection Agency’s notice of availability has been published in the Federal Register.

  • Apostle Islands National Lakehore Geologic Resources Inventory
    Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Geologic Resources Division Prepared by Trista L. Thornberry-Ehrlich National Park Service August 7, 2010 US Department of the Interior The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting and summary (this document), a digital geologic map, and a geologic resources inventory report. The purpose of scoping is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues, and monitoring and research needs. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, and if possible include a site visit with local experts. The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on July 20-21, 2010 both out in the field on a boating site visit from Bayfield, Wisconsin, and at the headquarters building for the Great Lakes Network in Ashland, Wisconsin. Jim Chappell (Colorado State University [CSU]) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Bruce Heise (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the park. Dick Ojakangas from the University of Minnesota at Duluth and Laurel Woodruff from the U.S. Geological Survey presented brief geologic overviews of the park and surrounding area. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park and Geologic Resources Division; geologists from the University of Minnesota at Duluth, Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, and U.S. Geological Survey; and cooperators from Colorado State University (see table 2).

  • Early Agriculture Within the Boundaries
    015&~ API S EARLY AGRICULTURE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE: AN OVERVIEW OF BEAR, IRONWOOD, MICHIGAN, OAK, OTTER, RASPBERRY, ROCKY, SOUTH TWIN AND STOCKTON ISLANDS AND THE MAINLAND UNIT (ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR BASSWOOD ISLAND ALSO INCLUDED) A Report Prepared for the Staff of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Bayfield, Wisconsin / by Arnold R. Alanen Professor Department of Landscape Architecture School of Natural Resources University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, Wisconsin 53706 June 1985 OBJECTIVES During the early 1980s this investigator participated with two other individuals in preparing a report on the early agricultural history of the Apostle Islands. 1 The report presented some background information on the overall agricultural development of the Apostles, but especially focused upon Basswood, Hermit, and Sand Islands. Several sources of information were used in preparing this first report. These included original Land Office and homestead records, census data, newspaper accounts, interviews, pictorial information, and field surveys. The report included on the following pages seeks to provide a more complete overview of early Apostle Islands agriculture by expanding the study to include islands other than Basswood, Hermit, and Sand (Figure 1). The additional islands considered in this report are Bear, Ironwood, Michigan, otter, Oak, Raspberry, South Twin, and Stockton. In addition, an effort has been made to provide some background information on an early farmstead (situated on Section 9, Township 51N, Range SW of Bayfield County) that once was built on what is now a part of the Apostle Islands mainland unit. Finally, additional information on two pre-emptors who made claims on Basswood Island was unearthed while doing this study; therefore, the subsequent account includes the new data.

  • The Mythologizing of the Great Lakes Whaleback
    VERNACULAR IN CURVES: THE MYTHOLOGIZING OF THE GREAT LAKES WHALEBACK by Joseph Thaddeus Lengieza April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Bradley Rodgers Major Department: Maritime Studies, History The “whaleback” type of bulk commodity freighter, indigenous to the Great Lakes of North America at the end of the nineteenth century, has engendered much notice for its novel appearance; however, this appearance masks the essential vernacularity of the vessel. Comparative disposition analysis reveals that whalebacks experienced longevity comparable to contemporary Great Lakes freighter of similar construction material and size, implying that popular narrative overstates whaleback abnormality. Market and social forces which contributed to the rise and fall of the whaleback type are explored.

The lighthouses, which still protect shipping at the western end of Lake Superior, were scheduled for exterior restoration work. Specifically, immediate plans called for the installation of drainage systems about certain structures on Sand Island, Michigan Island, Outer Island, and Devils Island to mitigate continuing ground water damage to their foundations. Archeological investigations sought to assess the potential impacts to cultural resources in those areas of the light stations that would be disturbed by proposed developments. Shovel probes and controlled test excavations were used to examine the proposed drain alignments, as well as construction staging areas. No significant cultural resources were discovered during the five-week project that would warrant modification of the drainage systems or further archeological excavation prior to construction of these improvements.
