Upper Souris Migratory Waterfowl Project Restoration Remedies

Cartoon drawn by Jay N. "Ding" Darling, former Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, about a waterfowl restoration project in the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge. The panel depicts the various recreational and economic activities and benefits of restoring the landscape for waterfowl. The cartoon is from the 1934 U.S. Biological Survey’s Upper Souris Migratory Waterfowl Project Site Plan, illustrated by Biological Survey Director Jay Norwood "Ding" Darling. This New Deal project created North Dakota’s Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge. The site plan's full-color illustrations by Director Ding Darling, a noted artist and cartoonist, are a rarity in Federal government planning documents.
