Watershed - North Branch and Mainstem Embarrass Rive (WR09)
North Branch and Mainstem Embarrass Rive Watershed

Details

The North Branch and Mainstem Embarrass River Watershed lies in Outagamie, Waupaca, and Shawano Counties and covers 292 square miles. This watershed includes 99 miles of the North Branch and Mainstem of the Embarrass River. Those portions in Outagamie County are in the Lower Fox River Designated Planning Area. See the Fox Valley Water Quality Planning Agency (FVWQPA) planning documents for additional information. The Winnebago Comprehensive Management Plan ranked this watershed a high priority because of critical animal waste and soil erosion problems. Data for the Wolf River Basin plan indicates severe polluted runoff problems exist, with heavy soil losses, impaired fisheries, excess vegetation, and dissolved oxygen violations.

Ecological Landscapes for North Branch and Mainstem Embarrass Rive Watershed

Ecological Landscapes

The North Branch and Mainstem Embarrass River Watershed contains three ecological landscapes: the Central Lake Michigan Coastal landscape in the south, the Northern Lake Michigan Coastal in the central part and the Forest Transition in the northwestern section. The Central Lake Michigan Coastal Ecological Landscape stretches from southern Door County west across Green Bay to the Wolf River drainage, then southward in a narrowing strip along the Lake Michigan shore to central Milwaukee County. Owing to the influence of Lake Michigan in the eastern part of this landscape, summers there are cooler, winters warmer, and precipitation levels greater than at locations farther inland. Dolomites and shales underlie the glacial deposits that blanket virtually all of the Central Lake Michigan Coastal Ecological Landscape. The dolomite Niagara Escarpment is the major bedrock feature, running across the entire landscape from northeast to southwest. Series of dolomite cliffs provide critical habitat for rare terrestrial snails, bats, and specialized plants. The primary glacial landforms are ground moraine, outwash, and lakeplain. The topography is generally rolling where the surface is underlain by ground moraine, variable over areas of outwash, and nearly level where lacustrine deposits are present. Important soils include clays, loams, sands, and gravels. Certain landforms, such as sand spits, clay bluffs, beach and dune complexes, and ridge and swale systems, are associated only with the shorelines of Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Historically, most of this landscape was vegetated with mesic hardwood forest composed primarily of sugar maple, basswood, and beech. Hemlock and white pine were locally important, but hemlock was generally restricted to cool moist sites near Lake Michigan. Areas of poorly drained glacial lakeplain supported wet forests of tamarack, white cedar, black ash, red maple, and elm, while the Wolf and Embarrass Rivers flowed through extensive floodplain forests of silver maple, green ash, and swamp white oak. Emergent marshes and wet meadows were common in and adjacent to lower Green Bay, while Lake Michigan shoreline areas featured beaches, dunes, interdunal wetlands, marshes, and highly diverse ridge and swale vegetation. Small patches of prairie and oak savanna were present in the southwestern portion of this landscape. The Northern Lake Michigan Coastal Ecological Landscape 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. 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.

North Branch and Mainstem Embarrass Rive WatershedWatershed History Note

The Village of Embarrass in the North Branch and Mainstem Embarrass River Watershed was named after a French word first attached to the river. The word meant to impede, to obstruct, or to entangle. Many of the early lumberjacks were French Canadians and when they tried to send logs down the river they found it almost impossible because of the many snags and other debris. They called it Riviere Embarrase. One of the more fascinating stories to come out of Embarrass, Wisconsin, is the story of the banker, John Krubsack. He was the first in the area to boast running water, he landscaped his property before it was the fashion, he farmed and made cheese, and he loved collecting nice branches with which to make furniture. One day in 1903, a friend admired a beechwood chair Krubsack had crafted, complimenting him on his handicraft. This gave Krubsack the idea to try to grow a chair, rather than build one. In 1907 Krusback planted 32 box elder trees in his back yard and began grafting and bending the tree stems and branches into the shape of a chair. After 11 years every joint in the chair was strong, or as Krubsack said, "cemented by nature." The chair was ready to be harvested. Dubbed "The Chair That Grew," this curious piece of furniture was exhibited at the 1915 World's Fair, appeared in Ripley's Believe It or Not column, and was featured in a film with Krubsack explaining how it was made, which ran in the weekly newsreels in movie theaters across the country. Though many handsome offers were made for the famous chair, Krubsack refused to sell, eventually leaving it to his nephew to be displayed in his furniture store. The fate of the chair is unknown, but one hopes that it still resides somewhere in the tiny town of Embarrass, Wisconsin, not far from where it grew nearly 100 years ago.
