Watershed - Yellow River (LC09)
Yellow River Watershed

Details

The Yellow River watershed drains the area around the Yellow River and a portion of the Red Cedar River. The watershed primarily spans central Barron County with very small sections extending into Washburn and Burnett counties. The watershed is close to the major population centers in Barron County. The watershed's land use shows a significant change from forested to agricultural lands. Public use of the watershed's streams and lakes is very high. The watershed contains hgh quality warm water fishery streams as well as 39 miles of trout streams. The northern third of the watershed is composed of glacial pitted outwash and end moraines. The great majority of the watershed's lakes are located in this area. A fairly even mix of forested and agricultural land is present. The southern two-thirds of the watershed is ground moraine with an area of pitted outwash centered around the cities of Barron and Cameron. Drainage patterns are more developed and fewer lakes are present. Land use is mostly agricultural. There are 24 lakes in the watershed, many of which have considerable shoreline development. Several State Fishery Areas are on various stretches of the Yellow River above Barron.

Ecological Landscapes for Yellow River Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Yellow River Watershed is located primarily in the Forest Transition Ecological Landscape which lies along the northern border of Wisconsin's Tension Zone, through the central and western part of the state, and supports both northern forests and agricultural areas. The central portion of the Forest Transition lies primarily on a glacial till plain deposited by glaciation between 25,000 and 790,000 years ago. The eastern and western portions are on moraines of the Wisconsin glaciation. The growing season in this part of the state is long enough that agriculture is viable, although climatic conditions are not as favorable as in southern Wisconsin. Soils are diverse, ranging from sandy loam to loam or shallow silt loam, and from poorly drained to well drained. The historic vegetation of the Forest Transition was primarily northern hardwood forest. These northern hardwoods were dominated by sugar maple and hemlock, and contained some yellow birch, red pine and white pine. Currently, over 60% of this Ecological Landscape is non-forested. Forested areas consist primarily of northern hardwoods and aspen, with smaller amounts of oak and lowland hardwoods. The eastern portion of the Ecological Landscape differs from the rest of the area in that it remains primarily forested, and includes some ecologically significant areas. Throughout the Ecological Landscape, small areas of conifer swamp are found near the headwaters of streams, and associated with lakes in kettle depressions on moraines. Ground flora show characteristics of both northern and southern Wisconsin, as this Ecological Landscape lies along the Tension Zone.

Wildlife and Habitat

One endangered dragonfly species and three of special concern in Wisconsin have been found in this watershed. These insects require clean, fast-moving streams, since the first phase of their life begins in water. The existence of these dragonflies indicates good water quality. Deterioration of water quality would harm these populations. Two threatened fish species, the greater redhorse and ozark minnow, and one of special concern, the weed shiner, have been documented in the lakes and streams of this watershed. The habitat needs of these fish varies from weedy shores to gravel, sand or mud bottoms. All, however, need clear water.

Granite Lake Association Inc.: Water Quality Survey Of Granite Lake: The Granite Lake Association is sponsoring a 1-year small-scale planning grant to generally appraise water quality conditions in the lake. This project will collect water quality data from an additional surface water location designated by the Citizen Lake Monitoring Network, and at two stream sites, one above the lake inlet and one below the lake outlet. Water samples will be analyzed for a suite of inorganic water quality parameters by the Wisconsin State Lab of Hygiene. In addition, a one time top/bottom paleolimnological core will be collected and evaluated. Watershed analysis data provided by Barron County will be evaluated to determine areas of concern within the watershed. Data from this grant will be combined with existing and future data to help determine the best way to manage Granite Lake to improve or maintain water quality, lake-user satisfaction, and the overall health of the system.

Deliverables include paper and electronic (digital) copies of the Comprehensive Report including: 1) Final Report summarizing the accomplishments of the grant; 2) A Summary document of the results and evaluation of the paleo-core; 3) All raw data pertaining to lake and stream water quality monitoring, including data from the two surface water sites being submitted to the Wisconsin Surface Water Inventory Management System (SWIMS); 4) Copies of and evaluation of the original Barron County Granite Lake watershed analysis to be used to assist in future development of a hydrologic and nutrient budget for the lake.

Yellow River WatershedWatershed History Note

The City of Barron is located along the banks of the Yellow River in Barron County. Prior to 1860, the area that is now Barron was home to Native Americans who enjoyed fishing in the many lakes and hunting in the game-filled white pine and hardwood forests. In 1860, John Quarderer built a logging camp on the south bank of what is now known as Quarderer’s Creek. He later increased his real estate holdings with a small company store and a hotel. Development led to the construction of a Court House on the Square in 1876, followed by a jail in 1878. In 1881 a dam was constructed across the Yellow River, which provided sufficient power to run a flour mill, a woolen mill and three large saw and stave mills. By 1891, these various industries employed scores of men and a railroad came to town in 1884. In 1887 the City of Barron was incorporated, and a fire engine was purchased in Beloit for $275, and used by the volunteer fire department. A newspaper came into being, followed by telephone service in 1896. A men’s club of Barron established the first public library in 1909, but in 1913, Andrew Carnegie gave $6500 for the construction of a new library which still stands today.
