FERGUS FALLS WETLAND MANAGEMENT DISTRICT Fergus Falls, Minnesota FERGUS FALLS WETLAND MANAGEMENT DISTRICT Fergus Falls, Minnesota ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1986 U.S. Dept. of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service NAT'L WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM REVIEW AND APPROVALS FERGUS FALLS WETLAND MANAGEMENT DISTRICT Fergus Falls/ Minnesota ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1986 Submitted Ity Date X ? u_ n Date Regional Office Approval Date INTRODUCTION The Fergus Falls District is one of four districts within the iMinnesota Wetlands Complex. The District covers 35,803 acres in fee title and 85,313 under easement in four west-central Minnesota counties. The Fergus Falls Wetland Management District was established in 1952. The District manages Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA's) and administers easements in four Minnesota counties: Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail and Wilkin. The FWS attempts to purchase WPA units with a preferred habitat ratio between wetland and upland acres, which provides the nesting habitat. Other wetlands, both permanent and temporary, are protected through an easement agreement with the landowner who agrees not to burn, drain, level or fill his wetlands in return for a single lump-sum payment. The Fergus Falls WMD lies within the transition zone between the western prairies and the eastern deciduous forests. Here, at the forest'edge, annual rainfall totals about 24 inches. This region supports woodlands on many sites and much of the uplands were once covered by tallgrass prairie vegetation. All of Wilkin County, plus the west half of Grant County and western Otter Tail Counties lies within the basin of the Red River of the North, better known as glacial Lake Agassiz. Sixty-six percent of the District's land surface is under agricultural production. The recent history of the Fergus Falls District's four-county area shows that it was a new frontier just a short time ago. The area was the scene of frequent clashes between the Chippewa (Ojibway) and Sioux Indians before and after white settlers moved into the region. Buffalo rings, mounds, flintstones and arrowheads are frequent signs of the region's past. The first white people in the Fergus Falls District were French and English fur traders and explorers. There are records of fur traders in Otter Tail County dating back to 1792. Settlers began arriving around 1858, but the Sioux uprising of 1862 in southern Minnesota caused many of the people to leave the' area. Joseph Whitford, the man who named Fergus Falls was killed by Indians who mistook him for a deer. The Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads arrived in 1871 and 1879, respectively. They provided vital links with grain markets in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth and helped farmers move from making a subsistance living to making a profit on their crops. 1 INTRODUCTION Page TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 A.

Farmers had difficulty seeding their crop, curing hay and getting the harvest in extended well into the fall. Many row crops had to be combined after the ground froze. High water problems were present everywhere making marsh and lake levels the highest they have been this century. Our field crews were continually getting stuck and some areas were not accessible due to the high water. The high water problem for us on Nicholson WPA commanded considerable time and effort on our staff. The WPA lies between Swan Lake (to the north) and Mineral Lake (to the south). People on Swan say the Fish and Wildlife Service is holding back water and causing flooding problems for them. At the same time, landowners Involved with Mineral Lake say*we are letting too much water through our control structure and into that lake. To alleviate this problem, we began a pumping operation to shunt water from the Swan Lake flowage directly into the Porarae de Terre'River rather than let it go into Mineral. With all the precipitation we've had, the problem is sure to follow us into 1987. Another highlight was the completion of the second Ducks Unlimited funded project on Redhead Slough WPA. Here a 200-acre marsh can now be managed via water control structure to exclude carp and enhance the aquatic vegetation. Several other proposed projects are in the mill right now for the next couple of years. For the first time, we began an all out effort to trap predators from 1,500 acres of WPAs in Grant and Otter Tail Counties. We had one person working full time on this from late March through the end of June. Target species were fox, skunk, raccoon and Franklin's ground squirrels. Several of the WPAs seemed to have an explosion of Franklin's on them as our trapping summary indicates. 5 B. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS Precipitation Temperature Fergus Fergus Falls Alexandria Falls Avg.

More than average amounts of rain were received April through September. April was the second wettest April in history and October being the driest October on record. September and October were gloomy with only 35 percent of available sunshine. As of this writing, the winter of 1986-87 has a great chance of going on the record books as the warmest one yet. C.

  • 6 Regional Commute Patterns
    CENTRAL MINNESOTA AREA COMMUTER STUDY | FINAL REPORT Minnesota Department of Transportation 6 REGIONAL COMMUTE PATTERNS INTRODUCTION One of the challenges for this study, which has a primary goal of looking at commute opportunities in MnDOT District 3, is that in some portions of the study area, the majority of commuters are actually traveling outside District 3 to locations in the Twin Cities. As a result, the corridor alternatives evaluated in Chapter 9 include those wholly within District 3 and those that travel beyond District 3. Based on the reports and data collected from a wide range of different sources, this chapter synthesizes information about regional commute patterns. REGIONAL COMMUTE CHARACTERISTICS With a majority of employers concentrated in only a handful of counties, out-of-county journeys to work are typical for most residents of District 3. In five counties, more than half the working population leaves the county for employment (See Figure 6-1). Nearly 70% of Sherburne County residents commute to jobs outside of Sherburne County. Commuting out-of-county roughly corresponds to the average commute time, especially for counties near the Twin Cities, such as Wright, Sherburne, and Isanti, but also including Kanabec. One exception is Benton County, which has a high percentage of out-of-county commuters but a relatively low average commute time of 22.6 minutes. Figure 6-2 shows commute times are much longer for counties near the Twin Cities. Counties with a more direct highway corridor, such as Wright with I-94 and Mille Lacs with Highway 169, have a slightly lower average commute time than counties bordering the Twin Cities metropolitan region without a major direct link such as Kanabec and Isanti.

  • The History of Central Minnesota: a Survey of Unpublished Sources'
    THE HISTORY OF CENTRAL MINNESOTA: A SURVEY OF UNPUBLISHED SOURCES' A comprehensive survey of the unpublished sources in the possession of the Minnesota Historical Society relating to cen­ tral Minnesota would not be feasible within the limits of this paper; but perhaps some idea of the nature of these materials may be obtained from a discussion of one or two manuscripts .relating to each of various localities and phases of the history of the region. For years before the coming of settlers to central Minnesota, white men —• fur-traders and voyageurs — were paddling across the lakes and up and down the rivers and plodding over difficult trails through the unexplored woods; and the early history of the region is mostly a story of their activities. The extensive manuscript collection of the historical society is rich in materials such as letters, account books, diaries, and remi­ niscences that relate to the fur trade in the Northwest or to individual traders or posts in this general region. Among these manuscripts is one entitled " Indian Trade and Its Pro­ gress, from the Discovery of the St. Lawrence River by the French," which was written by Allan Morrison, one of the earliest traders in the central part of the state. It is a very good account of the northwest fur trade in general and of the trade in central and northern Minnesota in particular. Under the subtitle, " The way the Trade was done amongst the Chip­ peways," he describes various trading posts and names indi­ vidual traders and their routes. He explains the system of credits employed with the Indians and mentions articles used for trading.
