  • Natural, Cultural & Agricultural Resources January 21,, 2010
    Sawyer County Comprehensive Plan – Natural, Cultural & Agricultural Resources January 21, 2010 Natural, Cultural & Agricultural Resources Wisconsin State Statute 66.1001(2)(e) Agricultural, Natural & Cultural Resources A compilation of objectives, policies, goals, maps and programs for the conservation, and promotion of the effective management, of natural resources such as groundwater, forests, productive agricultural areas, environmentally sensitive areas, threatened and endangered species, stream corridors, surface water, floodplains, wetlands, wildlife habitat, metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources consistent with zoning limitations under s.295.20(2), parks, open spaces, historical and cultural resources, community design, recreational resources and other natural resources. INTRODUCTION The protection of natural resources is necessary for the welfare of both people and the environment. By allowing natural processes, such as the hydrologic system, to function without impediment, property, water supply and the environment are protected. The protection of natural resources also preserves important ecological communities. Certain natural resources have more than merely aesthetic and leisure‐time activity values. They are essential to long‐term human survival and the preservation of life, health and general welfare. As such, the protection and management of these resources clearly are in the public interest. Thus, the analysis of those natural resources found within the planning area is done for the purpose of directing development away from those areas not intrinsically suitable for a particular use, or to at least guide development in a direction that is least disruptive. TOPOGRAPHY An undulating plain dissected by many lakes, rivers and streams characterizes the topography of Sawyer County. The northeastern corner of the County is quite hilly and the southwestern corner contains many high quartzite ridges.

  • Chapter 1: the Everglades to the 1920S Introduction
    Chapter 1: The Everglades to the 1920s Introduction The Everglades is a vast wetland, 40 to 50 miles wide and 100 miles long. Prior to the twentieth century, the Everglades occupied most of the Florida peninsula south of Lake Okeechobee.1 Originally about 4,000 square miles in extent, the Everglades included extensive sawgrass marshes dotted with tree islands, wet prairies, sloughs, ponds, rivers, and creeks. Since the 1880s, the Everglades has been drained by canals, compartmentalized behind levees, and partially transformed by agricultural and urban development. Although water depths and flows have been dramatically altered and its spatial extent reduced, the Everglades today remains the only subtropical ecosystem in the United States and one of the most extensive wetland systems in the world. Everglades National Park embraces about one-fourth of the original Everglades plus some ecologically distinct adjacent areas. These adjacent areas include slightly elevated uplands, coastal mangrove forests, and bays, notably Florida Bay. Everglades National Park has been recognized as a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Re- serve, and a Wetland of International Importance. In this work, the term Everglades or Everglades Basin will be reserved for the wetland ecosystem (past and present) run- ning between the slightly higher ground to the east and west. The term South Florida will be used for the broader area running from the Kississimee River Valley to the toe of the peninsula.2 Early in the twentieth century, a magazine article noted of the Everglades that “the region is not exactly land, and it is not exactly water.”3 The presence of water covering the land to varying depths through all or a major portion of the year is the defining feature of the Everglades.

  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S.

  • Sheffield on Griffin, 'Archaeology of the Everglades'
    H-Florida Sheffield on Griffin, 'Archaeology of the Everglades' Review published on Monday, December 1, 2003 John W. Griffin. Archaeology of the Everglades. Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2002. xx + 399 pp. $55.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8130-2558-2. Reviewed by Mason W. Sheffield (Archaeologist, New South Associates)Published on H-Florida (December, 2003) The Florida Everglades is one of the last frontiers left in America. Explorers of today's frontiers are not mountain men and prospectors, but scientists. For decades, the Everglades has drawn botanists, ornithologists, ichthyologists, herpetologists, and specialists from other fields to study its wonders. One additional group of researchers that has been especially interested in this region is archaeologists. One of the key figures in archaeological research of the Everglades was John W. Griffin. Originally published as Archaeology of the Everglades National Park: A Synthesis, Griffin's report on the findings of three years of research in the Everglades remained in the grey literature, unseen by most. With the help of Patricia C. Griffin, this invaluable work has been released to the public, nine years after the author's passing.Archaeology of the Everglades represents a major contribution to the field of Florida archaeology and prehistory for professionals and the general public alike. The archaeological record in the Everglades dates back nearly 5,000 years. According to Griffin it was around this time that the estuaries along the shore began to develop, thus increasing their appeal to human populations. Griffin goes on to say that the first pottery was produced around 4,000 years ago, which marked the beginning of a long sequence of datable pottery types.

The analyses were conducted on site, using ion chromatography for thiosulfate, polythionate, and sulfate, and using colorimetry for dissolved sulfide. Thiosulfate was detected at concentrations typically less than 2 mmol/L in 2 22 . neutral and alkaline chloride springs with low sulfate concentrations (Cl /SO4 25). The thiosulfate concentration levels are about one to two orders of magnitude lower than the concentration of dissolved sulfide 2 22 , in these springs. In most acid sulfate and acid sulfate-chloride springs (Cl /SO4 10), thiosulfate concentrations were also typically lower than 2 mmol/L. However, in some chloride springs enriched with 2 22 m sulfate (Cl /SO4 between 10 to 25), thiosulfate was found at concentrations ranging from 9 to 95 mol/L, higher than the concentrations of dissolved sulfide in these waters.
