  • The Mythologizing of the Great Lakes Whaleback
    VERNACULAR IN CURVES: THE MYTHOLOGIZING OF THE GREAT LAKES WHALEBACK by Joseph Thaddeus Lengieza April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Bradley Rodgers Major Department: Maritime Studies, History The “whaleback” type of bulk commodity freighter, indigenous to the Great Lakes of North America at the end of the nineteenth century, has engendered much notice for its novel appearance; however, this appearance masks the essential vernacularity of the vessel. Comparative disposition analysis reveals that whalebacks experienced longevity comparable to contemporary Great Lakes freighter of similar construction material and size, implying that popular narrative overstates whaleback abnormality. Market and social forces which contributed to the rise and fall of the whaleback type are explored.

The objectives of the beach monitoring component of the Strategy are listed below: 1. Assist local health departments to implement and strengthen beach monitoring programs. 2. Create and maintain a statewide database. 3. Determine whether waters of the state are safe for total body contact recreation. 4. Compile data to determine overall water quality. 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of MDEQ programs in attaining Water Quality Standards (WQS) for pathogen indicators. 1. ASSIST LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS TO IMPLEMENT AND STRENGTHEN BEACH MONITORING PROGRAMS Beach Monitoring The monitoring of beaches in Michigan is voluntary and is conducted by the local health departments.

  • Naming Rationale
    Naming Rationale Label-wise, the goal of the map is to illuminate the various landforms of Michigan, of which many residents are quite unaware. It should inform them of existing toponyms, as well as provide new toponyms for noteworthy features which don’t seem to have any. Landform toponyms can be approached from a folk or a technical perspective. A local might refer to the Yellow Hills that lay beside the Green Plain, whereas a physical geographer would recognize the glacial origins of these features and have good reason to call them the Yellow Moraine, next to the Green Glacial Lake Plain. My chosen perspective is folk toponymy. However, for many features in Michigan such names are lacking or poorly-attested, whereas technical names are much more common (experts think about landforms much more than other residents). Therefore I have sometimes borrowed from the list of technical names, modifying them at times to be more folk-like. For some features, the sources I have disagree as to their name or extent. I have done my best to mediate disputes. Other features have names that appear only on a single source, invented by mapmakers who saw landforms languishing in anonymity. I have propagated these names where they seemed sensible to me, and coined some of my own. All toponyms have to start somewhere. The result is a mixture of folk and technical, existing and newly-coined. Another cartographer would, given the same starting materials, produce a different result. I hope though, that my decisions seem justifiable and sound. ​ ​ ​ ​ List of Names and Sources In the pages that follow, I have compiled my notes and sources for every label on the map.
