Chapman Infection centers of white pine blister rust {Cronartium ribicola) found in 1952 indicate the disease has now spread to the eastern boarder of Montana and to the southern boundary of Wyoming. 13lister ro.st on white pine was found for the first time in Carbon County, Montana, east of Yellowstone National Park. The disease on ribes was found for the first time in McCone, Prairie, and Carbon Counties, Montana, and Albany County, Wyoming. From previously known limits of the disease, this represents an eastward spread of nearly 200 miles in Montana. and a south- easterly advancement of over 225 miles in Wyoming.

GYNN BLISTER RUST CONTROL, MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, 1952 By J. C. Gynn, Area Leader C. M. Chapman, District Leader The 1952 white pine blister rust control program in Mount Rainier National Park was completed as scheduled. The work consisted of eliminating ribes concentra- tions on cliffs and precipitous slopes between Sunrise Park and the White River campground. The removal of these ribes will alleviate damage to the whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) in the Sunrise Park area. above and to the western white pine ( E• monticola) in the White River campground area below. A plan formulated with Park Service officials permitted a.11 crews to work in high priority areas throughout the summer and still be readily available for fire duty. The accom- plishments of the new camp superintendent and checker were commendable. The cr,,eW was well organized and ribes eradication methods were used to best advan- tage. IO.bes eradication. Acres worked, 610; man-days, 670; ribes removed per acre, 62. A superintendent, a checker, and 16 laborers were employed. Ribes eradication started June 17 and terminated September 3. The crews were trained with the aid of illustrated charts and practical application of methods in the field. The dragline system was used almost exclusively because the precipitous topography, windfalls, and dense brush made the use of chemical methods impractical. Checking and control status. Areas worked were checked and control status classification made accordingly. A large portion of the 1952 work was classified in the rework category because of the large number of ribes removed and probable future germination of ribes seed. Table 4 shows control status classifications for both the White River and Silver Forest areas. Blister rust infection. A disease survey was run on the Longmire-Silver Forest :area in the vicinity of Ricksaker Point and Canyon Rim. Western white pine (f. monticola) reproduction less than 5 feet in height was examined with the following results: Number of tree$ examined, 228; number of trees infected, 32; llumber of trees with trunk cankers, 9. The yougest canker found was in 1948 wood, probably of 1950 origin. The last ribes eradication on the area was done in late 1950. ! disease survey was run on the White River control unit in the north portion of &nrise Park. Whitebark pine (f. albicaulis) of reproduction size was examined 'li.th the follQwing results: Number of trees examined, 295; number of trees in- ~ected, 154; rtumber of trees with trunk cankers, 7. The youngest infection noted fas in 194$ wood, probably.. ,of., ~95-0 origin. The la~t ribes eradication influenc- ing the area sampled was done in 1951 and 1952. Sixty man-days were spent on ~nker elimination in this area during inclement weather. Canker elimination le performed in 1952 in conjunction with malnten:rnce work should reduce future losses. -54- RECOMMENDATIONS Longmire-Silver Forest. Maintenance work previously scheduled for 1952 but delayed by more urgent control work necessary in the White River area should be done in 1953. An inspection made in 1952 showe·d additional broadcast spraying of Ribes aceri- f olium seedlings must be done ill the power line clearings. It was also nO'te'Cl considerable Hi-Fog gun work in conjunction with the one-man dragline system will be required to eliminate g_. bracteosum seedlings occurring in the vicinity of Narada Falls. The 'following recommendations are made to accomplish the work: A superintendent (GS-6), a checker (GS-5), and 15 crewmen for a 3-month period beginning· approxt- mately June 15. The above estimate is sufficient to take ·care of ti.me lost from rain, fire, crew reduction, and other unforeseen circumstances. The estimate is made on the basis of a 6-day work week.

  • The Great Falls Coal Field, Montana."
    THE GREAT FALLS COAL FIELD, MONTANA." By CASSIUS A. FISHER. INTRODUCTION. The present paper is a brief preliminary statement of the results of a detailed survey made of the Great Falls coal field, Montana, during the season of 1906 by W. K. Calvert, H. M. Eakin, and the writer. The principal resource of this region is coal, and, as the .investigation was made primarily to determine the classification of the public lands, the work was conducted with a view to defining as far as practicable the limits of the coal areas with respect to legal subdivisions of such lands. The Great Falls coal field was first examined by geologists of the Transcontinental Survey in 1879. In the course of this investigation the coal-bearing horizon was studied and traced from Judith River to Belt Creek by the late George H. Eldridge.b Later a brief examina­ tion was made of this coal field by J. S. Newberry c in the interests of the Great Northern Railway. During the spring of 1891 W. PI. Weed, while making an examination of the coal field of Montana for the United States Geological Survey, visited this region and later de­ scribed the deposits in considerable detail.6* LOCATION. The Great Falls coal field is situated along the base of the Rocky Mountain front range in north-central Montana. As first described by Weed, it extends as a zone of comparatively narrow width along the base of the Rocky Mountains from a point near Musselshell River northwestward to the international boundary line between Canada and the United States.

    Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks Fisheries Division Job Progress Report STATE: Montana PROJECT: Statewide Fisheries Management TITLE: Eastern Region 6 Pond, Stream and River Sampling JOB: Northeast Montana Warmwater Ponds and River Investigations FEDERAL GRANT: FISCAL YEAR: 2016-2017 (July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017) REPORT PERIOD: April 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 Author: Tyler M. Haddix ABSTRACT Northeast Montana provides anglers with diverse fishing opportunities from iconic Fort Peck Lake to the relatively underutilized Milk and Missouri Rivers to numerous small impoundments both on public and private lands. During 2016 and 2017 Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) conducted a variety of fisheries related efforts to maintain recreational opportunities and monitor existing fisheries within the eastern district of Region 6 (Figure 1.) This management zone includes Valley, Daniels, Sheridan, Roosevelt and portions of Richland, McCone and Dawson Counties. This report does not include Fort Peck Reservoir, as it is a separate management entity. Eastern Montana went through severe drought conditions in 2017, which was one of the driest spring and summers on record. Luckily, most ponds went into 2017 with decent water levels. During 2017 the Milk River had one early peak in mid-March, which may have been enough to produce a sauger spawn. In contrast, the Missouri River was somewhat flatlined from the operations of Fort Peck Dam. During 2016, the Milk river saw prolonged discharge due to both prairie rains and the lowering of Nelson Reservoir in Phillips County. Subsequently, the Missouri River had slightly higher than average flow throughout the summer season in 2016.

  • Large Valley River
    Large Valley River Yellowstone River near Miles City, MT Missouri River in the Wild and Scenic Area Aquatic Ecological System Type A001 and A002 View key to subtypes Community Description Summary: This ecosystem is found widely throughout the mainstem Missouri River system (7th order and larger) of the midwestern and western United States. These large, warm-water rivers have low to moderate gradient with origins in the intermontane basins of Montana. Throughout the range, river elevation is below 900m and characterized by long deep runs and pools with depths >2m, numerous mid-stream islands, side channels and interspaced riffles. Substrate characteristics are typically cobble in the riffles, sand and gravel dominated runs and pools, with gravel and/or finer-textured side channels. Fish Community: The members of this community consist of the Large, Medium and Large Mainstem Warmwater River Assemblages. The community indicator species are characterized by main channel species shovelnose sturgeon, pallid sturgeon, freshwater drum, paddlefish, burbot, sturgeon chub, sicklefin chub, and blue sucker. The Missouri mainstem contains one more species than the Yellowstone, the shortnose gar, that has only been recorded downstream from Fort Peck dam. Large Valley River fish communities include the side-channel communities occurring at the margins of the main current or in the quiet side-channels; these include emerald shiner, channel catfish, mooneye, sauger, flathead chub, carp, white sucker, shorthead redhorse and sand shiner. The shallow riffle habitat areas are inhabited by longnose sucker, longnose dace, flathead chub with mountain sucker in the Yellowstone River. Macroinvertebrate Community: This community consists of members of the Transitional Prairie River, Large Prairie River and Filtering Collector Assemblages in the riffles, with Large River Slow Current and Medium River Side-Channel Assemblages in the slow current areas and side channels, and the uncommon sand-dwelling mayfly community group in the vast sandbar areas.
