POTAWATOMI STUDY

The Northwestern Regional PlanningCommission (NWRPC), in cooperationwith the State Historical Society, issponsoring a historical andarchaeological survey in TAYLOR Countyat the site of a former Potawatomisettlement. Prel iminary archival andhistorical research indicates thePotawatomi lived in the community,previously an abandoned logging camp,from 1870 until 1904. Other findingsinclude photographs of some of thecommunity leaders and maps indicatingtrails crossing the area.

Prior to the settlement'sestablishment, the federal governmenthad moved the Potawatomi out ofWisconsin to Kansas. It is believedthat as a traditional tribe theyresisted assimilation and returned toWisconsin, settling at the TaylorCounty site, where they lived until asmallpox epidemic infect~d thecommunity. As was often the case, theIndians may have been unjustifiablyblamed for bringing the epidemic tothe area. Shortly thereafter, itappears that the Potawatomi left thesettlement.

The survey project has receivedwidespread support. Taylor County.the Taylor County Historical Society,the University of Wisconsin-Extension,the National Forest Service, and theNWRPC have pledged financial and in­kind support. Officials of the TaylorCounty Community Education Center alsostrongly back the project. Supportersagree that the site could prove animportant educational resource forcommunicating information aboutaspects of Indian culture.

UW-MILWAUKEEENDOWMENT

County-wide mapping is intended topromote a regional floodplainmanagement perspective. FEMA wil{introduce the new method on a caSl J­case basis according to costeffectiveness in 1987. For manycounties in which most communities arealready mapped the new method may be aforegone opportunity, at least in1987. Counties with large urbancommunities, such as Milwaukee orWaukesha counties, will be the bestcandidates in the coming years. Ifextensive restudies or revisions areanticipated in a particular county theopportunity to switch to the county­wide approach exists.

For specific information on FEMAmapping in Wisconsin contact BobWatson, Wisconsin DNR,Floodplain/Shoreline Management, phone608/266-8037.

One of the UWM Geography Department'shighest priorities is to bring expvisiting lecturers to the campus. !.

lack of funds, however, has stymiedthis effort. Professor Harold Mayerand his wife, Florence Hayer, decidedto alleviate the problem by providingan endowment. As a result, theHarold and Florence MayerDistinguished Geographical LectureSeries will begin in 1986-87.

(Even though he recently turned 70,Professor Mayer plans to remain anactive faculty member at UWM and tosee his endowed lecture seriesflourish.

The endowment will be used to providehonoraria and to pay the expenses ofvisiting lecturers who will givepublic lectures sponsored by theGeography Department. Graduategeography faculty will invite expertswho are distinguished for theircontributions to geography or aclosely related field, or who areknown for their applications of thescience to business, government, orthe arts.

Professor Mayer has taught at UWM for12 years. He was a long-time facultymember at the University of Chicagoand also taught at Kent StateUniversity. A specialist in urbangeography and transportation, Mayerserved as director of research for theChicago Planning Commission and held asimilar post in Philadelphia.

The Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA), which administers theNational Flood Insurance Program(NFIP), is altering the format of itsfloodplain maps. The original formatconsists of two maps, Flood. InsuranceRate Maps (FIRMS's) and Flood Boundaryand Floodway Maps (FBFM's). The FIRM,used primarily by insurance agents inwriting insurance policies and by thegeneral public for determining if astructure is located within thefloodplain, delineates the 100-yearflood boundaries, 100-year elevations,and zones rated for insurancepurposes. The FBFM deli neates the100-year floodplain boundaries, the100-year floodway (that portion of theoverbank floodplain carrying most ofthe flood) boundaries, and thelocations of stream valley crosssections used to determine floodelevation.

NEW FEMA MAP FORMAT

FEMA's new format combines theinformation depicted by the FIRM andFBFM on one map. Implementation ofthe one map format began in October1985 and has been limited tocommunities for which new studies arebeing prepared. In 1988 FEMA willbegin to retrofit original maps.

The new single maps include analphanumeric grid system to determinewhich streets and roads are in theflood hazard area. Flood-pronestreets are indexed and majorlandmarks depicted so thatindividual properties can be easilylocated. Crosshatching signifies thefloodplain and a dashed line plusshading with a half-tone screendelineates the 500-year floodboundary. Cross sections and 100-yearflood elevations are displayed as inthe original format. FEMA's newformat identifies the elevationreference marks, but descriptions ofthe marks are now included in thenarrative.

Another major change for the newformat floodplain maps is that theywill be published on a county-widebasis that includes all theincorporated communities within acounty. That is, new maps will showflood information beyond the corporatelimits of municipalities. Afrequently heard complaint about FEMAmaps has been that they simply stop atmunicipal limits. County-wide mappingwill also address the problems of theunavailability of maps of groups ofcommunities sharing a common watershedor floodplain, and of cases in whichFEMA separately maps municipalities orcounties with a common stream as theboundary.

BUREAU OFLAND MANAGEMENT

The Eastern state Office of the U.S.Department of the Interior's Bureau ofLand Management (BLM) providesinformation from over 7 million surveyand land title records along with datafrom tract books for 13 public landstates. These include: Alabama,Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana,Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, andWISCONSIN.

Every month, the Office furnishescertified photostat copies of patents.Patents (deeds) are the documentarymeans by which the Federal Governmenttransfers title of public domain landparcels to private citizens,companies, or local governments. Mostrequests for copies come from titleattorneys and abstract companies who,before they insure title to aparticular parcel of land, want tomake sure the federal government nolonger owns it. These records areessential to individuals or firmsinterested in mineral exploration forascertaining whether the federalgovernment reserved mineral rightswhen it conveyed title to the land.Many requests also come from theSouthern States where many land titleswere lost when county courthouses wereburned during the Civil War. Landrecords are also valued for historicalresearch.

Mail inquiries, orders, orapplications for an advance depositaccount to the: Bureau of LandManagement, Eastern States Office, 350South Pickett Street, Alexandria, VA22304.

To expedite its services the BLM asksmembers of the general public toprovide the legal description of aparcel or parcels when requesting apatent copy. This includes thesubdivision of the land section(i.e., NW 1/4. NE 1/4 or governmentlot), township number anddirection (N or S), range number anddirection (E or W), survey meridian,state, county and other pertinentinformation. One should also providehome and office telephone numbers.

The price for copies of patents orconveyance documents is $12.00 each.Tract book pages and survey plats cost$4.00 each. Field notes cost $4.00for the first page and $1.00 for eachadditional page. Case file recordsare $.25 per page. Regulationsrequire that payment be receivedbefore the requested material is sentout. Therefore, opening an advancedeposit account will greatly expeditean order.

UPDATE

CENSUS

In preparation for the 1990 Census,the Bureau of the Census has begun theprocess of dividing the entire nationinto blocks. A block is the smallestgeographic unit for which census datais available. In metropolitan areas ablock usually conforms to a cityblock. In nonmetropo1itan areas ablock is a geographic area bounded bysome physical features, such as roadsor waterways. Several combined b10rksform block groups which contain (approximately 300 housing units..metropolitan areas block groups arecombined to form census tracts. Innonm~trop~litan areas block groups arecomblned lnto block numbering areaswhich are usually limited to about1500 housing units.

After consolidation, map distributionservices for all states will beprovided by the U.S. GeologicalSurvey, Map Distribution Section,Federal Center, Box 25286, Denver, CO80225.

To assure greater accuracy, the CensusBureau solicits states' assistance inthe Block Numbering Area (BNA)/B10ckGroup (BG) process. States canparticipate in one of two ways: (1)propose BNAs and BGs to the Bureau or(2) review BNAs and BGs proposed bythe Bureau and recommend boundaryadjustments. Wisconsin has opted forthe second alternative.

,IN SEWRPC COUNTIES

The Southeastern Wisconsin RegionalPlanning Commission (SEWRPC) has longrecommended that the county andmunicipal governments within itsseven-county region prepare large­scale topographic maps to National HapAccuracy Standards. The maps are tobe prepared photogrammetrically toNational Hap Accuracy Standards andare to be based upon a SEWRPCrecommended monumented control surveynetwork. The control network relatesthe U.S. Public land Survey system tothe State Plane Coordinate System.

The topographic maps and attendant.survey control will prove helpful 1naspects of county planning, localpublic works engineering, and inprivate land development. The countyprograms represent an importantcapital investment on the part ofSEWRPC counties, providing afoundation for the eventual creationof modern automated land recordsystems. In 1976, RACINE Countybecame the first county in the SEWRPCregion to complete such a mapping andcontrol survey program.

like Racine's program, the programs ofKenosha, Waukesha, and OzaukeeCounties are designed to prepare1 inch equals 200 feet scale, 2-footcontour interval, topographic maps.

KENOSHA County began its large-scalecountywide topographic mapping andcontrol survey program in 1980. Uponcompletion of an additional 20 squaremiles of mapping under the countyprogram in 1986, large-scale topo mapswill have been prepared for 258 squaremiles or 93 percent of the county'stotal area. The county will recover,monument, and place an additional 45U.S. Public land Survey section andquarter-section corners on the StatePlane Coordinate System for a total of1,155 corners or 96 percent of suchcorners in the county. Kenosha Countyprovided basic funding for the programwith supplemental funding from theWisconsin Department of NaturalResources under the State Floodplainand Shoreland Mapping Program(eliminated by the State legislaturein early 1986), and from the NationalOceanic and AtmosphericAdministration's Coastal ManagementProgram. County officials hop: tocomplete large-scale topo mapP1ngduring the next two years. ( t' d)

Such a systemwill include: a reference frameconsisting of a'geodetic network; aseries of current large-scale maps;a cadastral overlay delineating allcadastral parcels; a uniqueidentifying number assigne~ to eachparcel issued as a common 1ndex ofall land records in informationsystems; and a series of land datafiles, each including a parcelidentifier for purposes ofinformation retrieval and linkingwith information in other datafi les ,

The legislature action means Congressand the president recognize the needto coordinate federal surveyingmapping and other land related databases,and the need for one agency tolead these efforts, as suggested bythe National Academy and endorsed bythe American Ccin~ress on Surveying andMapping (ACSM) and the AmericanSociety for Photogrammetry and RemoteSensing (ASPRS)as part of their 1985cadastre task force report.

The new January 1986 SCS soil surveystatus graphic reflects this concernfor planning needs by nowdistinguishing between counties havinga "Soil Survey Published After 1969".This latter category comprises tencounties in West Central andSouthwestern Wisconsin, plus BARRONCounty.

Our April Bulletin graphic usescategories very similar to SCS'sJanuary 1986 graphic (received in June'86).

Recent changes in the classificationsthe SCS uses on their soil surveystatus maps may help to explain whyour modification of their categorieslet Bayfield slip through the cracks.A look at the October 1983 edition ofthe SCS map will show the counties nowdepicted as having "No Soil Survey inProgress", as having had a"Reconnaissance Soil Survey". Hanyofthese reconnaissance surveys,principally for Northwestern Wisconsincounties, were conducted in the early1900's. The SCS no longer includesthis category, reasoning that it wouldgive the misleading impression thatsurveys exist for these counties whensuch surveys are inadequate for anydetailed planning purposes. WhileBayfield has a SCS survey, thisreconnaissance survey was compiled inthe 1920's and 1930's and thus it toois inadequate for planning needs.

Kurt W. Bauer, Executive Director ofthe Southeastern Wisconsin RegionalPlanning Commission (SEWRPC), wrote tous to provide additional informationconcerning the "Status of SoilSurveys", graphic published in theApril 1986 Bulletin. The graphicdepicts the seven SEWRPC counties ashaving provided cost-sharing funds forsoil surveys. Mr. Bauer would like usto note that:

"these surveys were completed forthe entire 2,689-square-mi1e regionunder a cooperative program managedby this Commission (SEWRPC) andfunded by this Commission itself,the counties, the WisconsinDepartment of Transportation, thethen U.S. Bureau of Public Roads,and the then U.S. Housing and HomeFinance Agency, as well as the U.S.Soil Conservation Service itself.The program, however, was unique inthat the U.S. Soil ConservationService prepared the mapping tospecifications prepared by thisCommission--specifications whichdiffered markedly from the standard~ ~ifications used by that agency-­\ the surveys were accompanied fortne first time in Wisconsin with awide range of interpretations forurban, as well as rural, planningapplication, and for engineeringapplication.

Indeed, the program was a pioneeringone in the United States at the timeand attracted much attentionnationally and internationally notonly because of its sheer scale andtechnical content but because of thecooperative intergovernmentalfunding involved."

The soil survey status graphic alsoinvited a response from Wayne Gibsonof the Wisconsin DNR, who provided uswith a reference to a BAYFIELD CountySoil Survey Reconnaissance book(U.S.D.A., Soil Conservation ServiceSeries 1939, No. 30, issued April1961). -nne source of our graphlc, theSCS's "Status of Soil Surveys,~isconsin" october 1985, shows3ayfie1d as one of 13 counties having"No Soil Survey in Progress". Our~raphic modified this category to read"Historical, non-SCS Survey" as the:ounties we show in this category,~xcepting Bayfield, had reconnaissanceiU'S prior to the founding of the>0, .1 1935. Accord i ng to the:ategories we use, Bayfield County.hould be depicted as having a "Pre­,970 Published SCS Soil Survey".
