Borax Lake (Oregon)

Borax Lake is a 10-acre (4.0 ha) alkaline lake in the Alvord Desert of southeastern Oregon in the United States. The lake is fed by geothermal springs 100 feet (30 m) below the surface that range in temperature from 104 to 300 °F (40 to 149 °C). Surface water temperatures usually range from 61 to 100 °F (16 to 38 °C) but occasionally go higher. The springs lie along the Steens fault zone, which runs north–south through the Alvord Valley east of Steens Mountain. The lake contains high concentrations of borax (sodium borate), as well as arsenic and lead. Despite this, it is home to a unique species of fish, known as the Borax Lake chub. The species was formerly threatened by development of geothermal energy in the vicinity. However, in 1993 The Nature Conservancy bought 160 acres (65 ha) of private land, including the lake, in order to protect it; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated 640 acres (260 ha) near the lake as critical habitat, and the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Act of 2000 put the area around the lake off-limits to geothermal exploration and mining. The lake and nearby wetlands and water bodies such as Alvord Lake, north of the small community of Fields, provide important bird habitat. History In the late 19th century, a mining company called Rose Valley Borax bought the springs and the land around it. The borax salts emanating from the springs had collected on the surface and formed a low dome 1 mile (1.6 km) across. The company mined the borax for about 10 years. Wagons pulled by mule teams delivered the borax to a railway terminal in Winnemucca, Nevada. Ruins of buildings associated with borax mining, which ended here in 1902, remain near the lake in the 21st century. Interest in mining for boron and other substances in the Alvord Lake basin rose again in the 1940s and 1950s. A geologist who took samples from hot springs in and near Borax Lake (then also called Hot Lake) reported in 1960 on the prospects for resumed commercial mining in the area. He estimated the total accumulation of borates from Borax Lake and another nearby hot springs at about 150 short tons (140 t) a year.

Боракс (озеро)

Боракс — это щелочное озеро, расположенное в пустыне Алворда на юго-востоке штата Орегон, США. Площадь озера составляет 4 гектара. Озеро питается геотермальными источниками, которые находятся на глубине 30 метров под поверхностью. Температура этих источников колеблется от 40 до 149 градусов Цельсия. Температура поверхностных вод обычно варьируется от 16 до 38 градусов Цельсия, но иногда может быть выше. Источники расположены вдоль зоны разлома Стинс, которая проходит с севера на юг через долину Элворд к востоку от горы Стинс. В озере содержится высокая концентрация тетрабората натрия, а также мышьяка и свинца. Несмотря на это, в озере обитает уникальный вид рыб, известный как голавль озера Боракс. Ранее этот вид находился под угрозой из-за развития геотермальной энергии в окрестностях. В 1993 году организация The Nature Conservancy выкупила 65 гектаров частной земли, включая озеро, чтобы защитить его. Служба охраны рыбных ресурсов и диких животных США обозначила 260 гектаров около озера как критически важную среду обитания. Закон о кооперативном управлении и защите гор Стинс 2000 года поставил территорию вокруг озера под запрет для геотермальной разведки и добычи полезных ископаемых. Озеро и близлежащие водно-болотные угодья и водоёмы, такие как озеро Алворд, к северу от небольшого поселения Филдс, являются важной средой обитания птиц. История В конце XIX века горнодобывающая компания Rose Valley Borax приобрела источники и прилегающие к ним земли. Соли тетрабората натрия, выходившие из источников, скапливались на поверхности и образовывали невысокий купол диаметром около 1,6 км. Компания занималась добычей в течение примерно 10 лет. Руду перевозили на железнодорожный терминал в Виннемукке, штат Невада, с помощью фургонов, запряжённых мулами. В настоящее время на месте, где ранее велась добыча, сохранились руины зданий. В 1940–1950-х годах интерес к добыче тетрабората натрия и других веществ в районе озера Алворд возрос вновь. В 1960 году геолог, проводивший исследования горячих источников в озере Боракс, сообщил о перспективах возобновления коммерческой добычи в этом районе. Он оценил общее количество боратов, добываемых из озера Боракс и других близлежащих горячих источников, примерно в 140 тонн в год. Примечания

Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children The Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children was dedicated in the park on October 13, 1995. Funded by donations from Cleary fans, the park was built by the Friends of Henry and Ramona. It includes life-sized renditions by local sculptor Lee Hunt of three Cleary characters: Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ribsy (Henry's dog). The life-sized sculptures were created using vintage clothes on wax models to create a realistic feel. The sculpture of Ramona is dressed in raincoat and boots, with a joyous expression, and is positioned such that she splashes in the garden's fountain. Granite tiles placed around the sculptures are inscribed with quotes from Cleary's most famous books. The statues were vandalized in 2017 and 2022.

Parklane Park

Parklane Park is a 25.6-acre (10.4 ha) public park in southeast Portland, Oregon, United States. The park was acquired in 1993. The park reopened in 2025. History From June 1946 to June 1959, Parklane Park was the site of a section of Troh's Skypark, a small airport operated by local pilot & businessman Henry Troh. It consisted of two primarily unpaved runways and 3 hangars, had amenities such as a lounge and café in one of the hangars (the Skyroom Café) and was allegedly the largest privately-built airport in Oregon. It served to train students, host pilots' clubs, for Troh and his associates to sell aircraft, and enjoyed success before closing due to municipal taxes and the construction of a new retirement community. The airport was replaced by a fenced-off sand and gravel quarry owned by the Oregon Asphaltic Paving Company in the 1960s, which hit the water table in 1984, leading to area residents to use it to occasionally swim or fish. The quarry was filled throughout the 1990s, mostly with soils excavated from projects around Portland at no cost, saving around $1 million. When the surrounding neighborhoods were constructed in the 1970s, the parcel south of the quarry became a Multnomah County park. Many of the trees were planted by local residents who also installed red and white striped playground equipment, giving rise to the nickname "Candy Cane Park". The City of Portland acquired Parklane Park in 1993. The park was significantly expanded from its original approximate five acres, which included only a basketball court, a dirt baseball field, and a playground. Parklane Park reopened on May 9, 2025 with community gardens, an off-leash dog area, pavilion, soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, a skate park, splash pad, three separate playgrounds and a picnic area.

Bradley Lake (Oregon)

Bradley Lake is a natural lake on the Oregon Coast in Coos County, Oregon, United States, about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Bandon. Its surface area is 23 acres (9.3 ha). It is a popular fishing spot for rainbow trout. Bradley Lake was formed when coastal sand dunes blocked the exit of China Creek, flooding a depression, and accumulating about twenty feet of sediment. The lake has been protected from storm surges, but not tsunami waves, which dumped sand and salt water. Kelsey et al discovered evidence of seventeen such events, after radiocarbon dating of core samples, over a 4600 year period within the Cascadia subduction zone. References
Sacajawea Park

Sacajawea Park is a public park in northeast Portland, Oregon's Cully neighborhood, in the United States.

In 2013, approximately 30 volunteers renovated the park in partnership with the Portland Trail Blazers and Banfield Pet Hospital. In 2026, Cully neighbors started a petition urging Portland Parks and Recreation and Portland Bureau of Transportation to create an opening on the west side of the park to allow pedestrians and cyclists through. The local neighborhood association scheduled a public meeting in June 2026 to gather neighborhood input. References External links Media related to Sacajawea Park at Wikimedia Commons
Branford Price Millar Könyvtár

A Branford Price Millar Könyvtár (angolul: Branford Price Millar Library) a Portlandi Állami Egyetem könyvtára az Amerikai Egyesült Államok Oregon államának Portland városában. Gyűjteménye több mint egymillió kötetből áll. Története Az egyetem első könyvtára 1959-ben, Branford Millar rektor regnálása alatt nyílt meg. 1962-ben fogadta az egymilliomodik látogatót, 1968-ban pedig felvette a rektor nevét. 1989 augusztusában Oregon állam finanszírozásával 11 millió dolláros felújítás kezdődött; a Skidmore, Owings and Merrill által tervezett bővítés kivitelezője a Wildish Building Company volt. A South Park Blocks felőli oldalon üvegfalat építettek, emellett átalakították a korábbi épületet is. A 6700 négyzetméteres új létesítmény 1991-ben készült el, és az év augusztusában adták át. Ekkor a könyvtár gyűjteménye 850 ezer dokumentumból állt. 1992-ben az agglomeráció elektronikus kölcsönzési hálózatának tagja lett. 1997-ben egy korábbi alkalmazottat kétszázezer dolláros sikkasztással vádoltak. Az 1890 körül Joseph Franklin Watson által ültetett bükkfát 1995-ben Portland városa védetté nyilvánította. A fa körbeépítése 1986 március-április körül a Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, az egyetemi könyvtárbővítési bizottság, az egyetemi polgárok és a városi erdészet közös döntése volt. 2001-ben 2,8 millió dollárból infrastruktúra-fejlesztést hajtottak végre és kicserélték a bútorokat. Az átalakítást a szövetségi és állami kormányzat mellett adományokból finanszírozták. 2005-ben elindult a földhivatali dokumentumokat tartalmazó fenntarthatósági közösségi digitális könyvtár. 2007-ig a régió egyetlen tárolókönyvtára volt, azóta három másik is megkapta a rangot. Épülete A hatszintes épület keleti oldala üvegből áll (többi fala tégla), és ívével az 1800-as években ültetett bükkfát öleli körbe. Tanulószobák és számítógépes laborok mellett itt található az iskolai levéltár székhelye is. Egy egész utcablokkot elfoglaló 18 085,9 m2-es területével a portlandi agglomeráció legnagyobb felsőoktatási könyvtára. Gyűjteménye Nyomtatott gyűjteménye 1,4 millió dokumentumból áll, évente 162 ezren kölcsönöznek; a 2014–15-ös tanévben 1 076 571 látogatója volt. A Hanford és Trojan erőművekről is található itt információ. Szövetségi tárolókönyvtár, emellett az Orbis Cascade Szövetség tagja. A Dark Horse Comics gyűjteményében az általuk publikált képregényekből és bábukból 2-2 példány található meg. A könyvtár üzemelteti a PDXScholar repozitóriumot.

Breitenbush Lake

Breitenbush Lake is a 65-acre (26 ha) water body on a high plateau north of Mount Jefferson in the Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Oregon. The lake, fed by seepage and small creeks, is part of the North Fork Breitenbush River watershed. It is in Marion County near its border with Jefferson County and lies within the Mount Hood National Forest and the Warm Springs Indian Reservation at an elevation of about 5,500 feet (1,700 m). Forest Road 4220 runs by the lake. Breitenbush Lake Campground, maintained by the United States Forest Service, has 20 sites and a vault toilet but no garbage service. Canoes are allowed on the lake but not motorboats. The lake, which supports rainbow and brook trout generally ranging in length from 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm), is stocked periodically. Forest Road 4220 has been described as rough at best, and heavy snow keeps it closed to most traffic from mid-October through the end of June, usually. When the road is snow-covered, visitors can still use it to reach the lake on snowshoes, cross-country skis, or snowmobiles. See also List of lakes in Oregon References
Бродвейский мост (Портленд)

Бродвейский мост в городе Портленд, штат Орегон, Соединённые Штаты Америки — ферменный разводной мост через реку Уилламетт, построенный в 1913 году. Старейший из четырёх разводных мостов Портленда; на момент постройки — двухпролётный раскрывающийся мост с самыми длинными в мире разводными пролётами; и до настоящего времени — мост с самыми длинными в мире разводными пролётами системы Ралля. Имеет четыре полосы движения, по нему также проложена невыделенная трамвайная линия и велосипедная дорожка. В 2012 году включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест США. История Поскольку ещё до начала строительства было решено, что мост станет самым длинным раскрывающимся разводным мостом, за право определить конструкцию моста конкурировали патентодержатели на системы Страусса, Шерцера и Ралля. Система Ралля была выбрана как наиболее экономичная: мост обошёлся в 1.6 миллионов долларов. Бродвейский мост спроектирован Ральфом Моджески — инженером, построившим в США более двух десятков больших мостов. При открытии моста 22 апреля 1913 года его нарекли именем улицы Бродвей, продолжением которой он стал. Седьмая авеню, подходившая к мосту с другой стороны, стала теперь восточной частью Бродвея. Трамвайные пути проложили по мосту сразу же при открытии, трамвай ходил до 1940 года. С 1937 по 1958 год по мосту ходил троллейбус. В сентябре 2012 года Портлендский трамвай, получивший второе рождение, вновь пошёл по новым путям через Бродвейский мост. Поначалу мост был чёрным, так же как и его соседи и ровесники — Стальной мост и мост Готорна. В 1961 году портлендский архитектор Льюис Крутчер предложил дать каждому мосту свой собственный цвет. Бродвейский получил цвет как у моста Золотые Ворота, известный также как «международный оранжевый». В 2006 году через Бродвейский мост ежедневно проезжало 30 тысяч автомобилей и 2 тысячи велосипедов. Мост разводится для прохода судов около 25 раз в месяц. Конструкция Подъемный мост системы Ралля использует систему двигателей, зубчатых колёс и противовесов, чтобы не только повернуть пролёты моста вокруг горизонтальной оси, но и несколько раздвинуть их в стороны. Это позволяет увеличить эффективную ширину прохода судов под мостом. Пролёт моста соединён с устоем тягой, закреплённой на шарнирах; при этом в центре масс пролёта и противовеса расположены катки на оси, перемещающиеся по горизонтальной балке для того, чтобы пролёт мог, поворачиваясь, отъезжать в сторону берега. Два электродвигателя мощностью 75 лошадиных сил вращают редукторы; конечные шестерни поворачивают тяги. Бетонные противовесы массой по 1250 тонн каждый расположены над проезжей частью моста и намертво прикреплены к пролётам. Четыре стальных катка диаметром 2,5 метра выдерживают нагрузку 600 тонн каждый. В сведённом состоянии подвижные пролёты крепятся друг к другу замками, препятствующими образованию щели между ними, эти замки оператор рассоединяет при разведении моста. Время поворота пролёта Бродвейского моста до крайней позиции — десять минут, это самый «медленный» разводной мост в Портленде. Мост оборудован поворотными автомобильными и пешеходными барьерами для запрета движения, когда он разведён. Комментарии Примечания
