As ore is mined, milled, and sent to the smelter, it leaves footprints where it has been in the form of residual trace metals. Often these footprints become remnants that can be detrimental to other natural resources. This emphasizes the importance of understanding the earth’s complex physical and biological processes and their interactions at increasingly smaller scales because subtle changes in one component can substantially affect others. Understanding these changes and resulting effects requires an integrated, multidisciplinary scientific approach. As ore reserves are depleted in one area, additional exploitable deposits are required to replace them, and at times these new deposits are discovered in previously unmined areas. Informed decisions concerning resource management in these new, proposed mining areas require an understanding of the potential consequences of the planned mining actions. This understand- ing is usually based on knowledge that has been accumulated from studying previously mined areas with similar geohydrologic and biologic conditions. If the two areas experience similar mining practices, the information should be transferable. Lead and zinc mining along the Viburnum Trend Subdistrict of southeastern Missouri has occurred for more than 40 years. Additional potentially exploitable deposits have been dis- covered 30 miles to the south, within the Mark Twain National Forest. It is anticipated that the observation of current (2008) geohydrologic conditions in the Viburnum Trend can provide insight to land managers that will help reasonably anticipate the potential mining effects should additional mining occur in the exploration area. The purpose of this report is to present a compilation of previously unpublished information that was collected as part of a larger multidisciplinary study of lead mining issues in southeastern Missouri. The report resulted from the application of a multidisciplinary approach to investigate current hydrologic and biologic conditions in streams of the Viburnum Trend and the exploration area in the Mark Twain National Forest.

Box 248 Sullivan, MO 63080 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Overview The overall purpose of the Meramec River Watershed Demonstration Project is to bring together relevant information about the Meramec River basin and evaluate the status of the stream, watershed, and wetland resource base. The project has three primary objectives, which have been met. The objectives are: 1) Prepare an inventory of the Meramec River basin to provide background information about past and present conditions. 2) Facilitate the reduction of riparian wetland losses through identification of priority areas for protection and management. 3) Identify potential partners and programs to assist citizens in selecting approaches to the management of the Meramec River system. These objectives are dealt with in the following sections titled Inventory, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analyses, and Action Plan. Inventory The Meramec River basin is located in east central Missouri in Crawford, Dent, Franklin, Iron, Jefferson, Phelps, Reynolds, St. Louis, Texas, and Washington counties. Found in the northeast corner of the Ozark Highlands, the Meramec River and its tributaries drain 2,149 square miles.

To date, 10 mines have operated along a north‐south line extending for almost 100 kilometers (km) from from Viburnum to south of Bunker, Missouri. This subdistrict of the Southeast Missouri Lead Mining District is referred to as the Viburnum Trend (VT). Seven mines are presently in operation in the VT: (i) Viburnum #29 Mine in Washington County which uses the Buick Mill; (ii) Casteel or Viburnum #35 Mine in Iron County which uses the Buick and Brushy Creek Mills; (iii) Buick Mine and Mill in Iron and Reynolds Counties; (iv) Fletcher Mine and Mill in Reynolds County which sometimes uses the Brushy Creek Mill; (v) Brushy Creek mine and mill in Reynolds County; (vi) West Fork Mine and Mill in Reynolds County; and (vii) Sweetwater Mine and Mill in Reynolds County (Seeger, 2008).

In the next pages many rivers are described, both in general and by specific sections. You will also find within this section a compilation of many public outfitters, which regularly provide all necessary equipment for a canoe trip. The river sections that are profiled are probably not the exact sections of river that you will float if you rent your canoes and equipment form an outfitter. Each outfitter has “normal” floats that you may choose from, and few, if any, of these floats will match with the sections profiled in On The Loose, or with the sections any other outfitter would float! After spending some time with the River Section of On The Loose, I feel that you will agree there are many more rivers, which can be floated than the ones commonly mentioned (i.e.

  • Settlements of the Missouri Shawnee, 1793-1825
    Settlements of the Missouri Shawnee, 1793-1825 RODNEY STAAB Kansas State Historical Society ARRIVAL OF THE SHAWNEE WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI Several standard histories (Mooney 1910; McKenney & Hall 1858, 1:39; Harvey 1855:84, 161; Alford 1979:10-11) recount the arrival of the Shawnee at sites west of the Mississippi river. One firm point in all the narratives is the 1793 concession by the Baron of Carondelet, governor of Spanish Louisiana, to Louis Lorimier, in which Lorimier was permitted to establish himself with the Delawares and Shawnese who are under his care, in such places as he may think proper in the province of Louisiana on the west bank of the Mississippi, from the Missouri to the River Arkansas which may be unoccupied, with the right to hunt, and cultivated for the maintenance of their families... and be it further understood that in case they should remove elsewhere, the said lands shall become vacant. [Goodspeed 1888:260-1] The original 4 January 1793 document reposes today in the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis. A second firm point is the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France on 1 October 1800, and a third is of course the formal transfer of Louisiana to the United States, with ceremonies taking place at New Orleans on 20 December 1803 and at St. Louis on 9 March 1804. It is well to understand in advance that such a migration is not a single event from a single location to a single destination. The actual first date of arrival of the Shawnee west of the Mississippi with the intent to settle was probably 1788-90, while the arrival of a Delaware chief and 57 men of his nation in St.
