  • Exhibit RMP___(CAT-2.2) - Surrounding Site Information
    Exhibit RMP___(CAT-2.2) - Surrounding Site Information A brief description of Jim Bridger plant surrounding scenic, historical, archeological and recreational locations; natural resources; plant and animal life; land reclamation; possible safety hazards; and plans for protecting the environment follows: 1. Historical Sites - National Historic Trails The Cherokee, Overland, Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, and Pony Express National Historic Trails cross Sweetwater County, Wyoming in an east-to-west direction. The Point of Rocks to South Pass Stage and Freight Trail crosses Sweetwater County in a south-to-north direction. This trail is located closest to the general vicinity of the plant. All the other trails would be intersected many miles from the plant. A brief description of the referenced trails follows: Cherokee Trails (1849-1850) - Several emigrant parties, including Cherokee Nation Native Americans, journeyed to California along these two trails in the first two years of the gold rush. Starting in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma, these emigrant parties blazed these trails as the first wagon trails through the Rocky Mountains that were not routed through South Pass, Wyoming. The 1849 wagon trains traversed a route across the Laramie Plains and the Red Desert that closely parallels the route of present-day Interstate 80, and connects with the Oregon and California trails at the confluence of the Hams Fork and Blacks Fork rivers. In 1850, these emigrant parties pioneered a different route that is near the Wyoming- Colorado border until reaching Fort Bridger. Some combinations of both trails were used to create Ben Holladay's Overland Trail in 1862. The Cherokee Trails are not well marked.
