Ecological Landscapes for Upper Door County Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Door County Watershed is located in the Northern Lake Michigan Coastal Ecological Landscape which is located in northeastern Wisconsin, and includes Green Bay and the northern part of the Door Peninsula. Its landforms consist of the Niagara escarpment, a prominent dolomite outcropping along the east side of Green Bay, a lacustrine plain along the west side of Green Bay, and ground moraine elsewhere. Low sand dunes and beach ridges that support Great Lakes endemics and many other rare species are found along the Great Lakes shoreline. The influence of Lake Michigan moderates extreme temperatures. Soils are very diverse; in some areas, lacustrine sands are found overlying clays or bedrock within only a few feet of the surface. In the Door Peninsula, soils are typically stony loamy sands to loams. Poorly drained sands are common in the lake plain or in depressions between dunes and beach ridges. On the western side of Green Bay, the ground moraine is composed mostly of moderately well drained, rocky sandy loams, interspersed with lacustrine sands and clays, and peat and muck also common. Historic vegetation included maple-basswood-beech forest, hemlock-hardwood forest, northern white cedar swamp, hardwood-conifer swamp, wet meadows, and coastal marshes. Conifer dominated upland forests that resemble the boreal forest were present along Lake Michigan; they contain a significant component of white spruce and balsam fir. Cliffs, sinkholes, and dolomite ledges are associated with the Niagara Escarpment. Current vegetation consists of more than 60% non-forested land, most of which is in agricultural crops, with smaller amounts of grassland, wetland, shrubland, and urbanized areas. Forested lands are dominated by maple-basswood, with smaller amounts of lowland hardwoods, aspen-birch, and lowland conifers. High quality areas of exposed alkaline bedrock beach occur on the northern Door Peninsula, providing habitat for many rare plants. Several islands lie off the Door Peninsula and these also provide critical habitat for rare species and colonially nesting birds.

This project would expand existing (Racine and/or Milwaukee Counties) and establish new rapid test method labs in the Lake Superior region (serving Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, and Iron Counties), Door County (Serving Brown, Door, and Kewaunee counties), and Manitowoc (serving Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties). This project would provide all infrastructure required including all equipment and training needed to start using the qPCR rapid test methods. By leveraging current testing facilities (Ashland, Sturgeon Bay, Manitowoc, Racine, and Milwaukee) and using this capital investment all of Wisconsin's coastal waters would be able to get beach testing results within 4 hours.

Upper Door County WatershedWatershed History Note

The three villages of Sister Bay, Egg Harbor and Ephraim are located in the Upper Door County Watershed. The watershed also includes Washington and Rock Islands. One of this area's most interesting residents was Chester H. Thordarson, who emigrated from Iceland to Milwaukee in 1873, at the age of six. He soon moved to Dane County, where he began his schooling, then moved to Shawano County for three years, and then on to North Dakota. Thordarson was an avid reader, first of books in the Icelandic language, but as his schooling opportunities increased, he read books in English and began to collect them. He started working in Chicago at the age of twenty, and learned electric skills at various jobs, until eventually he was able to build transformers. He founded the Thordarson Electric Manufacturing Company, which grew into a multi-million dollar company. In 1910 Thordarson bought a large portion of Rock Island. Over the next few years he added the rest of the available 778 acres to his estate. In 1924, his crew cleared 30 acres on the west side of Rock Island and during 1927 to 1931 the boathouse and other stone buildings were constructed. Also at this time the water tower on the east side was built. Thordarson constructed a total of 14 buildings, a wall, hilltop gate and lookout tower on Rock Island. Icelandic artist Halldor Einarson worked in Thordarson's library in Chicago carving the oak furniture and on Rock Island carving the runic and block letters above the huge fireplace in Viking Hall. Using the Prose Edda (1220) as a reference for Nordic myths, Einarson carved one scene from one myth on each of the 24 straight chairs. Names of principle characters were written in runic beneath each scene. The Thordarson family worked on improving the Rock Island retreat in all seasons and brought water and electricity to the buildings. Thordarson had an interest in botany and landscaping. In a green house attached to the Rock Island residence, he grew plants and conducted botanical research. He brought flowers and seeds from Iceland and other countries. For his management of this estate as a preserve for natural landscape, native animals and wild flowers, the University of Wisconsin conferred upon him the degree of Honorary Master of Arts in 1929. In the 1940's Thordarson and his family spent longer periods of time on Rock Island. He continued to add to his valuable rare book collection. In his lifetime Thordarson had over 100 inventions, most of them patented. These ranged from electrical transformers for radios, parts of cars, to other non-electrical ideas. Thordarson died of heart failure on January 6, 1945. His will provided the opportunity for the University of Wisconsin-Madison to purchase most of his rare book collection. In December 1946, university regents voted to buy the scientific library of 11,000 volumes for $300,000. The University added the rare book room to their Memorial Library to house the collection. Thordarson's two sons and their families continued to enjoy Rock Island until the early 1960's. In 1965 the State of Wisconsin purchased Rock Island, the land and buildings, from the heirs for $170,000. The Thordarson family sold off the carved furniture by piece to private people, but most pieces in the Great Hall today have been donated back to the Park to keep the pieces together.
