The stream meanders through a relatively wide valley and outwash terraces. The West Fork valley bottom is fairly broad with some large meadows and willow bottoms. Appendix A – Suitability Evaluation Reports A-392 The upper portion of this segment is typical of the alpine and subalpine communities of the Uinta Mountains. Krummholz spruce communities occur at higher elevations, while Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and lodgepole pine dominate at mid to lower elevations along this segment. Aspen communities and aspen/conifer communities also occur at lower elevations. Riparian communities typically occur as broad meadows dominated by tall and low growing willows with herbaceous undergrowth. Narrow riparian corridors with scattered tall willows growing beneath conifer overstories generally separate these meadows. This segment is more or less natural in appearance, with local dispersed recreation and livestock grazing impacts.

  • Winter 2018 Wagon Tongue Newsltr
    Winter ISSUE 2018 In 1928, Fort Bridger was designated a Wyoming Historical Site. This was about 75 years after Jim Bridger, a fur trader had established his trading post along the emigrant trail to California and Oregon. Fort Bridger is located on the Blacks Fork of the Green River in Wyoming. It was considered a vital resupply post for emigrants on the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails. It later served as a crossroad for the Pony Express Route, Transcontinental Railroad and the Lincoln Highway. Today, it is still located in the Bridger Valley, also named for Jim Bridger, just off Interstate 80. Jim Bridger had the foresight that emigrants would need to replenish their supplies, having traveled through Wyoming without any other place to purchase supplies since Fort Laramie. He and business partner, Louis Vasquez, built their trading post in a fertile valley that emigrants could rest and replenish supplies before traveling on to Fort Hall or on the new route to the Salt Lake. As emigrants traveled, they had expectations of an established trading post so with the exception of the abundance of grass and water that had a variety of fish for the emigrants, they were sadly disappointed when they arrived at Fort Bridger, "Fort Bridger, as it is called, is a small trading-post, established and now occupied by Messrs. Bridger and Vasquez. The buildings are two or three miserable log-cabins, rudely constructed, and bearing but a faint resemblance to habitable houses. Its is in a handsome and fertile bottom of the small stream on which we are encamped, about two miles south of the point where the old wagon trail, via Fort Hall, makes an angle, and takes a northwesterly course." - Edwin Bryant, 1848 Fort Bridger was a significant part of history for the emigrants It was also at Fort Bridger that the fated Donner Party changed their route.

Abstracts Disso ivecj-solids concentrations and loads can be estimated from streamflow records using a regression model derived from chemical analyses of monthly samples. The model takes seasonal effects into account by the inclusion of simple-harmonic time functions. Monthly mean dissolved-solids loads simulated for a 6-year period at U.S. Geological Survey water-quality stations in the Green River Basin of Wyoming agree closely with corresponding loads estimated from daily specific-conductance record In a demonstration of uses of the model, an average gain of 114,000 tons of dissolved solids per year was estimated for a 6-year period in a 70-mile reach of the Green River from Fontenelle Reservoir to the town of Green River, including the lower 30-mile reach of the Big Sandy River.
