The plan consists of a multiple-purpose lake for flood control, fish and wildlife production, and recreation. The dam-site would be located on the Kickapoo River about 1 mile north of La Farge, in Vernon County, southwestern Wisconsin. The dam would be an earth-fill structure with an overall length of 3,960 feet and a maximum height of 103 feet. The conservation or recreation pool at elevation 840 is designed to impound 33,000 acre-feet of water with a surface area of about 1,780 acres extending about 12 miles upstream. Local flood protection measures for the downstream communities of Gays Mills and Soldiers Grove have been approved; however these are separate projects which will be treated in separate environmental impact statements.
A Thousand Pieces of Paradise is an ecological history of property and a cultural history of rural ecosystems set in one of the Midwest’s most historically significant regions, the Kickapoo River Valley. Whether examining the national war on soil erosion, Amish migration, a Corps of Engineers dam project, or Native American land claims, Lynne Heasley traces the history of modern American property debates. Her book holds powerful lessons for rural communities seeking to reconcile competing values about land and their place in it.
