- Reports beavers building dams across both streams at the junction of Hannegan Road and East Side Road, flooding the road, and rebuilding the dams the same night after they were removed. It does not provide a road-maintenance log, hydrologic survey, or wildlife-management record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1959-10_Beaver-Beacon
- The held four-page issue PDF is paired with the canonical OCR source and confirms the beaver-dam and road-flooding anecdote; it does not expand the infrastructure or wildlife record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1959-10_Beaver-Beacon
