Lake Sherburne

Lake Sherburne is located in the Many Glacier region of Glacier National Park, in the U.S. state of Montana. The lake is a reservoir, formed by Lake Sherburne Dam, which held back Swiftcurrent Creek and was constructed between 1914 and 1921. The construction of the dam filled up several small lakes and highly productive river transition and wetland areas, and due to its fluctuating water levels, the surrounding area supports little vegetation. However, trumpeter swans are often observed along the lake in the spring and fall. The lake stretches nearly 6 mi (9.7 km) when full. The reservoir is the principal water storage component of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Milk River Project, which provides irrigation water to north central Montana farms. The name Lake Sherburne is derived from an early settler and businessman in the area, Joseph H. Sherburne. He settled in the area (Browning) in 1896 and was the proprietor of the Sherburne Mercantile Company which had stores in towns in the area Browning, Babb and East Glacier. During this time he had a cabin for summer use by his family on the shore of what became known as Sherburne Lakes (plural). Once the dam was built in 1919 the name was revised to Lake Sherburne. Fishing along the lake is less than spectacular, but brook trout and northern pike can be caught there. A boat is generally required for fishing, but since there is no boat dock along the lake, it is usually necessary to park alongside the road and walk down to the lakeshore.

Laurel Municipal Airport

Laurel Municipal Airport (FAA LID: 6S8) is two miles north of Laurel, in Yellowstone County, Montana, and eleven miles (18 km) southwest of Billings, Montana, United States. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility. It sees no airlines. Facilities Laurel Municipal Airport covers 254 acres (103 ha) at an elevation of 3,517 feet (1,072 m). It has three runways: 4/22 is 5,200 by 75 feet (1,585 by 23 metres) asphalt; 14/32 is 2,725 by 50 feet (831 by 15 metres) asphalt; 9/27 is 1,100 by 60 feet (335 by 18 metres) turf. In the year ending September 15, 2010 the airport had 41,900 general aviation aircraft operations, average 114 per day. 89 aircraft were then based at the airport: 84% single-engine, 6% multi-engine, 7% helicopter, and 3% ultralight. Northern Skies Aviation is the only fixed-base operator. Accidents and incidents On May 3, 2023, a plane crashed near Laurel after an oil pressure problem. The pilot decided to turn off the engine and divert to Laurel. About a quarter mile away from the airport, the plane stalled and impacted an open field. The left wing of the aircraft struck a fence post, causing it to spin into an irrigation ditch. The pilot survived and the aircraft subsequently was damaged. The NTSB determined that cylinder deterioration had caused a partial loss of engine power to the rear engine, causing a forced landing.

Lee Metcalf Wilderness

The Lee Metcalf Wilderness is located in the northern Rocky Mountains in the U.S. state of Montana. Created by an act of Congress in 1983, this rugged alpine wilderness is divided into four separated parcels typified by complex mountain topography: Bear Trap Canyon unit, Spanish Peaks unit, Taylor-Hilgard unit, and Monument Mountains unit. The Bear Trap Canyon unit is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (an agency within the Department of the Interior) and comprises a region of canyonlands adjacent to the Madison River. The other three sections of the wilderness are jointly managed by Beaverhead-Deerlodge and Gallatin National Forests, both of which are a part of the Department of Agriculture. The wilderness was named after the late Montana congressman Lee Metcalf. The portion of the wilderness within Gallatin National Forest is also within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and borders Yellowstone National Park. U.S. wilderness areas prohibit motorized and mechanized vehicles, including bicycles. Although camping and fishing are allowed with proper permit, there are no roads or buildings, and neither any logging or mining, in compliance with the 1964 Wilderness Act. As such, the Metcalf Wilderness serves as a critical wildlife refuge for many threatened and endangered species of North America and is home to the highest population density of grizzly bear in the contiguous United States. Many other large North American fauna also inhabit this undisturbed alpine ecosystem, such as moose, elk, black bear, mountain goat, bighorn sheep, wolverines, cougars, Canadian lynx, and wolves, as well as bald eagles, osprey, pelicans, and trumpeter swans. Climate The Beaver Creek SNOTEL weather station is located at the southern end of Lee Metcalf Wilderness, in the valley east of Echo Peak (Montana). Beaver Creek has a subalpine climate (Köppen Dfc).

Libby Dam

Libby Dam is a concrete gravity dam in the northwestern United States, on the Kootenai River in northwestern Montana. Dedicated on August 24, 1975, it is west of the continental divide, seventeen miles (27 km) upstream from the town of Libby. At 422 feet (129 m) in height and a length of 3,055 feet (931 m), Libby Dam created Lake Koocanusa, a reservoir which extends ninety miles (140 km) upriver with a maximum depth of about 370 feet (110 m). Forty-two miles (68 km) of it is in Canada in southeastern British Columbia. Lake Koocanusa was named for the treaty that was developed between the Kootenai Indians, the Canadian government, and the U.S. government to build the dam and form the reservoir. It was the fourth dam constructed under the Columbia River Treaty. The Kootenai River is the third largest tributary to the Columbia River, contributing almost twenty percent of the total water in the lower Columbia. Libby Dam has the capacity to hold back 4,980,000 acre-feet (6.14 km3) of water. The consulting architect for the project was Paul Thiry of Seattle, and the commission for its large granite bas-relief was awarded to sculptor Albert Wein by competition. In order to make way for the dam, the town of Rexford was relocated and a new Flathead Railroad Tunnel was dug. Construction began in 1966, and the reservoir was available for filling in mid-1973. The dam is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and at full capacity, it can pass over 160,000 cubic feet per second (4,500 m3/s) of water. The dam is designed with a selective withdrawal system that allows water passage from various levels of Lake Koocanusa, which allows the operators to moderate water temperatures downstream. The river continues northwest into Idaho, past Bonners Ferry, to Kootenay Lake in Canada and joins the Columbia River. Libby Dam's powerhouse contains five turbines and is capable of generating 600 megawatts. The electricity is managed by the Bonneville Power Administration and services eight states: Montana, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, California, Utah, Oregon, and Nevada. The money earned from electricity sales goes to the United States Treasury to repay the cost of building and operating Libby Dam. President Gerald Ford was among the five thousand in attendance at the opening in 1975, along with Senator Mike Mansfield, the majority leader, and Governor Thomas Judge. At his first official event after a two-week vacation in Vail, Colorado, Ford "threw the switch" with Donald Macdonald, Canadian minister of energy.

Diga di Libby

La diga di Libby è una diga sul fiume Kootenai, nello stato del Montana. Inaugurata il 24 agosto del 1975, la diga di Libby sbarra il fiume Kootenai a 17 miglia (27 chilometri) a monte della città di Libby. La diga di Libby è alta 422 piedi (129 m) e lunga 3.055 piedi (931 m). Il serbatoio della diga forma il lago Koocanusa, che si estende per 90 miglia (140 chilometri) a monte della diga ed ha una profondità massima di circa 370 piedi (110 m). Quarantadue miglia (68 chilometri) del lago di Koocanusa si trovano nella Columbia Britannica, in Canada. Il nome Koocanusa deriva dal nome del trattato stipulato dalla locale popolazione indiana dei Kootenai, il governo canadese e il governo degli Stati Uniti per la costruzione della diga. È la quarta diga costruita sotto il Trattato del fiume Columbia. Il fiume Kootenai è il terzo più grande affluente del fiume Columbia, contribuendo con quasi il 20% del totale dell'acqua del Columbia inferiore. Il bacino della diga di Libby trattiene una media di 7,2 km³ di acqua. Il progetto per la realizzazione della diga fu affidato all'architetto Paul Thiry di Seattle, mentre le sue grandi opere di bassorilievo in granito furono commissionate allo scultore Albert Wein. Per far posto alla diga, la città di Rexford fu trasferita in un luogo più in alto e venne scavato il Flathead Railroad Tunnel. La diga è gestita dall'United States Army Corps of Engineers. A regime, nella diga possono scorrere fino a 4.500 m³/s di acqua. La diga è stata progettata con un sistema di prelievo selettivo che permette il passaggio dell'acqua da vari livelli del Lago Koocanusa. Questo consente agli operatori della diga di regolare la temperatura dell'acqua a valle. Il fiume continua attraversando la città di Bonners Ferry, in Idaho, fino al Lago Kootenay e si unisce al fiume Columbia. La diga di Libby possiede cinque turbine ed è in grado di generare 600 megawatt. L'elettricità è gestita dalla Bonneville Power Administration e serve otto stati: Montana, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, California, Utah, Oregon e Nevada. Il ricavo dalla vendita di energia elettrica è introitato dal Tesoro degli Stati Uniti a rimborsare il costo di costruzione e di funzionamento dell'impianto.

Madison Dam

Madison Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Madison River in Madison County, Montana, in the southwestern part of the state. The timber-crib dam was constructed in 1906 as a replacement for a similar 1901 dam and powerhouse on the same site. The dam is 39 feet (12 m) high and 257 feet (78 m) long at its crest, placed into the narrows of Bear Trap Canyon. As one of eight PPL Montana hydro projects, it has a generating capacity of 9 megawatts (12,000 hp) in a run-of-the-river configuration. Montana Power Company acquired the dam in 1912 as part of a merger, PPL Corporation purchased it in 1997 and sold it to NorthWestern Corporation in 2014. The reservoir it creates, Ennis Lake, is 2.6 miles (4.2 km) long and has a maximum storage capacity of 42,053 acre-foot (51,872,000 m3). The lake is relatively shallow and warms significantly during the summer, which tends to decrease fish populations. The lake supports recreational fishing for brown trout and rainbow trout, camping, boating, and white-water rafting in Bear Trap Canyon downstream (north) of the dam.
