Prehistoric Fire Along the Escarpment Zone of the Cumberland Plateau Cecil R
Fire on the Edge: Prehistoric Fire Along the Escarpment Zone of the Cumberland Plateau Cecil R. Ison1 Abstract Cumberland Plateau Escarpment Zone Unlike many areas of the United States, anthropogenic fires In Kentucky, conglomeratic sandstones outcrop in a belt are the prime agent for affecting changes in plant and animal ranging from 8 to 40 km wide along the western edge of the species composition in the southern Appalachian Highlands. Cumberland Plateau. Geologically, this area is referred to as Although the extensive use of fire by the American Indians the Pottsville Escarpment. Erosion within this belt has has been recognized from the earliest European observers, created deep narrow stream valleys flanked by steep-sided it is somewhat difficult to determine the impact prehistoric to precipitous valley walls. Little level land is available along fires had on forest structure. By examining the fossil and the stream margins but the ridges, ringed by high sandstone charcoal record from Cliff Palace Pond with the cliffs are fairly wide and flat. Nearly 5000 kilometers of archaeological record recovered from nearby prehistoric cliffline snake through the Daniel Boone National Forest, and sites, a 9,500-year record of the vegetational development often stretch for miles without a break. These natural can be established for the escarpment zone of Eastern features led Miller, in his Geology of Kentucky (1919) to refer Kentucky. This record indicates that anthropogenic fires to the escarpment zone as a “Chinese Wall” that greatly played a central role in shaping the forest structure, inhibited economic development of the area. especially after the transition from a hunting and gathering economy to one based on swidden agricultural practices. -

Kentucky Vacations in Your Own Backyard
Kentucky Vacations in your own Backyard Today there are more than 50 Kentucky state parks, including Resort Parks that feature lodges, cottages, restaurants, campgrounds and trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. There are Historic Sites that tell about Kentucky’s history from prehistoric times to the days of the Civil War, Native Americans and the early pioneers. Many of these historic locations have museums or historic buildings that make great places for family visits. Recreation Parks feature campgrounds, picnic areas, swimming areas and trails. One park is an Interstate Park, shared with the Commonwealth of Virginia. State Parks are parks or protected areas managed by the states. Usually they are established to preserve a location because of its natural beauty, historic interest or recreation potential. The development of state parks in the United States generally paralleled the development of the U.S. national parks. The oldest state park in the United States is Niagara Falls, established in 1885. The first U.S. National Park was Yellowstone, established in 1872. Until the development of parks in the United States, the great areas of land with natural beauty and historic significance had only been set aside for the wealthy, such as kings and noblemen. National parks and state parks reserved the lands for everyone. The parks movement began in the United States and has since been accepted and copied throughout the world. During WW I, visits in Europe were closed to tourists from the United States and other countries. The theme, “See America First,” was promoted as never before and concentrated on the beauty of the American landscape, especially those in the western states. -

Department of Classification and Evaluation \:..~ Agriculture Forest Service of Forest Sites on the Southern Forest Northern Cumberland Plateau Experiment Station New Orleans, Louisianfl General rechnical Report SO-60 March 1986 Glendon W. Smalley SUMMARY This paper presents a comprehensive forest site classification system for the northern Cumberland Plateau in north central Tennessee and eastern Ken tucky. The system is based on physiography, geology, soils, topography, and vegetation. Twenty-four landtypes are described and evaluated in terms of productivity and desirability of selected pines and hardwoods for timber pro duction. Also, each landtype is rated for five soil-related problems that can affect forest management operations. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am indebted to my colleagues, past and present, for their scientific input, reviews, and stimulating discussions. I am also grateful to the soil scientist$, silviculturists, plant ecologists, and practicing foresters who have reviewed this guide.

A Distributional Checklist of the Fishes of Kentucky
A Distributional Checklist of the Fishes of Kentucky BROOKS M. BURR Department of Zoology, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois 62901 ABSTRACT. —A compilation of records of fishes from Kentucky waters based on specimens deposited in museums, personal collecting, and accepted literature reports revealed that 229 species occur or did oc- cur in the state. A substantial amount of new distributional data is presented in the form of an annotated list including records of several species of fishes previously unreported from the state. Distributional statements in the checklist are based on individual spot maps completed for all Kentucky fishes. A list of five problematical species is included at the end of the checklist. INTRODUCTION The fish fauna of Kentucky is more diverse than that of any other in- land area of comparable size in North America except Tennessee and Alabama. Presently, 229 species are known to occur or to have occurred in Kentucky waters and only 10 or 11 are the result of introduction by man. A major factor contributing to the present completeness of our knowledge of the Kentucky fish fauna has been its rich history of ichthyological investigations going back to the time of one of North America's earliest ichthyologists, Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. Since Rafinesque's groundbreaking work on Ohio River valley fishes (1820) there have been four other reports on Kentucky fishes (Woolman 1892, Garman 1894, Evermann 1918, Clay 1975). Woolman's study is of im- mense historical value in documenting the distribution of many Ken- tucky fishes before most of the changes brought on by man took place.
