Area residents gather at Blanton's Crossing for celebration

By · April 1, 2007 · Comment on this

Several area residents gathered at Blanton's Crossing for a celebration
of the anniversary of Humbolt officially becoming a town.

Preceded by approximately 7 or 8 thousand years of being part of the Wakarusa wetlands, after the end of the most recent ice age. This post-pleistocene era was preceded by a number of other ice ages, going back to the glacial period some 600,000 years ago, which created the wide Wakarusa valley when glaciers reached into Kansas and then melted, flooding and expanding the size of the Wakarusa valley considerably.

 

Most likely the wetlands have existed ever since, with the 573 acre remnant a mere fraction of the much larger total of wetlands that used to be here, perhaps 13-17,000 acres in extent.

 

Now we can talk about what the facts are, free of bias, no? Perhaps a discussion of the ecological and economic value of a wetlands in terms of water purification and filtration, habitat and biodiversity creation, migratory species support, and so on?

Travelers along the trail gave the springs its name. It is located about four miles north of Blue Rapids. Across the road from the Alcove Springs park is another park commemorating the Oregon Trail and features history, wagon swales and a D.A.R. marker memorializing Sarah Keyes, a member of the Donner Party who died in 1846.

Numerous places are described in detail. Most are small towns and countryside landscapes,
including reservoirs. An amazing historical background is given for each place as well as house
types, barn types, and the land use in most places. The end result gives the viewer an excellent
physical and cultural description of the landscape of each area.
