Ecological Landscapes for Prairie River Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The Prairie River Watershed is a part of two ecological landscapes: the North Central Forest and the Forest Transition. The North Central Forest Ecological Landscape occupies much of the northern third of Wisconsin. Its landforms are characterized by end and ground moraines with some pitted outwash and bedrock controlled areas. Kettle depressions and steep ridges are found in the northern portion. Two prominent areas in this Ecological Landscape are the Penokee-Gogebic Iron Range in the north extending into Michigan, and Timm's Hill, the highest point in Wisconsin (1,951 feet) in the south. Soils consist of sandy loam, sand, and silts. The vegetation is mainly forest, with many wetlands and some agriculture, though the growing season is not as favorable as it is in southern Wisconsin. Lake Superior greatly influences the northern portion of the Ecological Landscape especially during the winter season, producing greater snowfall than in most areas in Wisconsin. The historic vegetation was primarily hemlock-hardwood forest dominated by hemlock, sugar maple, and yellow birch. There were some smaller areas of white and red pine forest scattered throughout the Ecological Landscape, and individual white pines trees were a component of the hemlock-hardwood forest. Harvesting hemlock to support the tanneries was common at the turn of the century, and the species soon became a minor component of forests due to over-harvesting and lack of regeneration. Currently, forests cover approximately 80% of this Ecological Landscape. The northern hardwood forest is dominant, made up of sugar maple, basswood, and red maple, and also including some scattered hemlock and white pine pockets within stands. The aspen-birch forest type group is also relatively abundant, followed by spruce-fir. A variety of wetland community types also are present, both forested and non-forested. The Forest Transition Ecological Landscape 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.

Lincoln County: Euraisan Water Milfoil Control & Information & Education, Seven Island Lake: Lincoln County in cooperation with the Seven Island Lake Association, will sponsor a project to manually remove approximately three acres of eurasian water-milfoil in Seven Island Lakel. During the spring of 2005, with the hope of early eradication, divers will remove EWM. The Association will also develop an EWM monitoring plan, to be used during summer and fall of 2005 to check for the spread of EWM. They will monitor for EWM throughout the summer and remove remaining milfoil during the fall of 2005. The Lincoln County Lakes Association and Seven Island Lake Association will partner to sponsor an aquatic invasive workshop. This workshop will provide an educational component to teach area residents of the dangers of aquatic invasive species, control/prevention measures, and will provide periodic project updates.

Products:

1) Pioneer beds of eurasian water-milfoil will be manually removed, using scuba divers, during the spring and/or fall of 2005.
2) Pre and post treatment surveys mapping the location and densities of EWM, will be conducted.
3) An AIS monitoring plan will be developed for Seven Island Lake.
4) An AIS workshop will be held to disseminate information to the public.
5) A final report will be made available to the DNR, Lincoln County Land Conservation Dept., local lake associations, districts, and media.

Prairie River WatershedWatershed History Note

The City of Merrill, partially located in the Prairie River Watershed evolved, as did many other communities in Wisconsin, by supplying lumber to the more wide-open western states. Rivers were dammed, sawmills constructed and trains brought in to move the lumber westward. In fact the city was named after S.S. Merrill, the general manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad. The turn of the century marked a milestone for Merrill. Faced with a diminishing timber supply, the people who had built the city faced a decision - move on to greater timber resources or stay and diversify their industry. Their decision to stay underscores one of the great strengths of Merrill today - a diversity of industry that provides a stable economic base. Two lovely buildings remain from earlier times. The first is the Lincoln County Courthouse, begun in 1903, at the cost of $119,882. Its central rotunda is 32 feet in diameter; second floor offices lead off its balcony. A 48-inch bell and one-ton clock were mounted on the roof tower. The second is the T.B. Scott Free Library, which was established in 1889 through a $10,000 bequest from T.B. Scott, lumberman, legislator, and Merrill's first mayor, and was located in the City Hall until 1911. It was the first public library to conduct English classes for immigrants in 1905 and was one of the first travelling libraries in Wisconsin. The library received a Carnegie grant in 1909 and a new building was designed by the architectural firm of Claude and Starck and constructed in 1911.This is one of the "Seven Sisters" of Prairie school library buildings,other Wisconsin libraries include Clintonville and Evansville.
