Map of the Big Fork State Forest BIG FORK STATE FOREST 74,817 ACRES • ESTABLISHED 1963 FOREST LANDSCAPE: Located between Scenic State Park and Northome, Big Fork State Forests feature boreal forests of pine, spruce, and aspen. Many lakes and streams dot the landscape, including picturesque rapids along the Big Fork River. A WORKING FOREST: From year to year, you may see changes in this forest. The DNR manages the trees, water, and wildlife in state forests to keep them healthy and meet recreational, environmental, and economic goals. Trees are harvested to make a variety of products, such as lumber and building materials, pulp for making paper, pallets, fencing, and telephone poles. Through careful planning, harvesting, and planting, land managers work to improve wildlife habitat. The DNR manages state forests for everyone to use, while preventing wildfires and ensuring forests continue to keep air and water clean. HISTORY: After the last ice age, glacial Lake Agassiz inundated the area that is today’s Big Fork State Forest. As the shallow lake slowly drained to the northwest, receding waters deposited clayey to loamy soils. Today, the landscape is mostly flat to slightly rolling. The southern part of the forest, east of Wirt, is hillier, with more lakes. A succession of Woodland Indians occupied the region for at least 2,500 years. The Dakota (or Sioux) inhabited the area until the Ojibwe (Chippewa) arrived. In the late 1800s, a group of Chippewa/Bois Forte lived along the Big Fork River in bark wigwams. Logging between the late 1880s and early 1900s profoundly transformed the area, as millions of board feet of pine logs were floated downstream (north) along the Big Fork to lumber mills in Ontario. Today’s forests represent later growth. TREES: Look for stands of white pine, red pine, and white spruce. In boggy areas, black spruce, fir, cedar, and tamarack are common. Aspen, birch, and jack pine grow in other upland sites. Oak and maple are also present. WILDLIFE: Timber wolves, bobcats, beaver, otter, bald eagle, osprey. Big game include black bear, moose, and white-tailed deer. Ruffed grouse, trumpeter swans, and many species of ducks are common.

  • Little Fork River, Minnesota 1. the Area
    Little Fork River , Minnesota 1. The area surrounding the river: a. The Little Fork watershed is located in Itasca, St. Louis, and Koochichinz Counties, Minnesota. It rises in a rather flat region in St. Louis County and follows a meandering course to the northwest through Koochiching County to its junction with the Rainy River about 19 miles below Little Fork, Minnesota. The area is a hummocky rolling surface made up of morainic deposits and glacial drift laid over a bedrock composed largely of granitic, volcanic, and metamorphic rocks. The upper basin is covered with dense cedar forests with some trees up to three feet in diameter. Needles form a thick layer over the ground with ferns turning the forest floor into a green carpet. In the lower basin the forest changes to hardwoods with elm predominating. Dense brush covers the forest floor. Farming is the major land use other than timber production in the area of Minnesota, but terrain limits areas where farming is practical. Transportation routes in this area are good due to its proximity to International Falls, Minnesota, a major border crossing into Canada. U. S. 53 runs north-south to International Falls about 25 miles east of the basin. U. S. 71 runs northeast-southwest and crosses the river at. Little Fork, Minnesota, and follows the U. S. /Canadian border to International Falls. Minnesota Route 217 connects these two major north-south routes in an east-west direction from Little Fork, Minnesota. Minnesota Route 65 follows the river southward from Little Fork, Minnesota. b. Population within a 50-mile radius was estimated at 173, 000 in.

State Forest Recreation Areas Minnesota's 56 state forests contain over 3.2 million acres of state owned lands which are administered by the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry. State forest lands are managed to produce timber and other forest crops, provide outdoor recreation, protect watershed, and perpetuate rare and distinctive species of flora and fauna. State forests are multiple use areas that are managed to provide a sustained yield of renewable resources, while maintaining or improving the quality of the forest. Minnesota's state forests provide unlimited opportunities for outdoor recreationists to pursue a variety of outdoor activities. Berry picking, mushroom hunting, wildflower identification, nature photography and hunting are just a few of the unstructured outdoor activities which can be accommodated in state forests. For people who prefer a more structured form of recreation, Minnesota's state forests contain over 50 campgrounds, most located on lakes or canoe routes.

  • 3. Affected Environment, Impacts, and Mitigation
    Bemidji – Grand Rapids Transmission Line February, 2010 Draft EIS 3. Affected Environment, Impacts, and Mitigation This section describes the environmental setting as it relates to each alternative considered under the proposed Project. The resources and environmental settings included for analysis within this section were identified during the scoping process for the Project. The following subsections are divided into discussions about the affected environment, potential direct and indirect impacts from the Project, and potential mitigation measures. The discussion of affected environment describes the resources and environmental settings found in the Study Area. For purposes of analysis, the Study Area is defined as the generally 1,000-foot wide route proposed for each of the build alternatives (Route Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 and their associated Segment Alternatives A through T). The discussion about direct and indirect impacts describes the potential effects from the Project alternatives, including the No-Build Alternative. For each of the Route Alternatives, the Applicants identified a feasible 125-foot wide Right of Way (ROW) that could be located within the 1,000-foot wide route. Analysis of direct and indirect impacts was conducted assuming the placement of the feasible 125-foot wide ROW identified by the Applicants. For those Segment Alternatives for which a feasible ROW has not been identified, analysis was conducted assuming the placement of the ROW along the centerline of the 1,000-foot wide route. A comparison of the Project alternatives is presented in Section 5, Comparison of Alternatives. The actual location and width of a ROW for the Project is unknown at the time this document was prepared, and will be determined in the Commission’s High Voltage Transmission Line (HVTL) Route Permit for the Project.
