Documentary - Lost Duluth

This is the story of people and places lost to history; of mysterious ruins, forgotten markers and outdated industries; of what was back then. This is the story of Lost Duluth.

The roots of Duluth began at an Ojibwe settlement along the St. Louis River and with the arrival of European settlers grew to eleven townships in all; they stretched from Fond du Lac to Lester Park. From Duluth's humble beginnings sprang industry after industry, including a harbor busier than any other in the United States, including the port of New York.

Corps of Engineers Conducts Snow Surveys in Minnesota

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is sending a survey team around Minnesota to conduct snow surveys March 4 to 8, while Corps park rangers are conducting surveys near the Mississippi River Headwaters.

The surveys will aid the Corps' water management team in determining what the snow water equivalent, or how much water, is located within the snowpack. This information is also shared with other agencies, such as the National Weather Service and the U.S. Geological Survey.

The survey team will begin near Minneapolis March 4 and make a counterclockwise trip around the state. They will survey areas near Duluth, Minn.; Brainerd, Minn.; and Moorhead, Minn.

The process involves going to a predetermined location and gathering snow through a snow tube. The snow is then measured for its weight, and the totals are converted using a mathematical formula to determine the water content.

The Corps will monitor the region for future snow storms, and they will conduct additional surveys if needed. Also available in high definition
