TRAIL Ridge road offers magnificent scenery and thrilling Colorado highway adventure BY D1cK BELLEW AND Bos ARRENDALE ITH national forests covering more than a Wfifth of the state, with a mountain area six times that of Switzerland, Colorado offers the mo t magnificent variety of scenic topography to be found anywhere in the worlp. In this many-splen­ dored setting, in a healthy and invigorating cli­ mate, and at any time of the year, there is an adventure, a sport, or a marvel of nature to enjoy. The saga of the Early West is trail-marked across these millions of acres of rugged terrain. Relics of that colorful era, from Indian arrow­ heads to gho t towns, are scattered at the site of old wars and along trails carved by explorer , trappers, prospectors, and others, wending their ways Westward in the 1840!" and '50s. Fascinating ruins of ancient civilizations, such as are to be found at Mesa Verde, to the awe­ inspiring Garden of the Gods at the foot of Pike's Peak, where Indians performed their most sacred rites-all are part of the intrigue of this region abounding with color and mystery. Dude-ranching with pack-trips into the mountain wilderness, 13,000 miles of open, unposted trout streams, and 2,000 lake , open for fishing in any season; hundreds of ski-runs, for both winter and summer sport, mountain golf courses, and an abundance of good hunting, make this "Switzer­ FROM the Cliff Pala ce of Mesa Verde can be seen land of America" a rich playground for the out­ a rock canyon that cuts through the preserve. doorsman. 4 Copied from an original at The History Center. www.TheHistoryCenterOnline.com 2013:023 STEflMBOflT SPRINGS, pictured from atop a toboggan run, is a famous winter sports area Every mile of Colorado holds historic interest, beauty and romance, and no end of challenge for the sportsman. Boat races through dangerous rapids, sailing two miles above sea-level, and ski­ ing on live glaciers are some of the more spectacu­ lar events occurring throughout the year. The season for colorful pageants and festivals is end­ less. More than three hundred such events, re-living the early history of Colorado, take place each year. Well-engineered roads have conquered the rugged mountain ranges to provide safe and pleas­ ant driving, but the off-trail adventure lures many. But the West is not all wild and woolly. Modern resorts and gracious living inter-change with Western rusticity, and background music varies from the strum of a cowboy's guitar to the classics. The magnificent Red Rocks Outdoor Theater west of Denver features the world's finest concert artists throughout the summer season. Fabulous Central City brings famous Metropolitan Opera stars to appear in its historic old stone opera house, the center of attraction in this one-time ghost mining town.

  • Facilities in the North Platte River Drainage Basin Above and Including Guernsey Dam and the Four Inland Lakes Near Scottsbluff, Nebraska
    PREFACE This report documents the operation of all Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) facilities in the North Platte River Drainage Basin above and including Guernsey Dam and the four Inland Lakes near Scottsbluff, Nebraska. This area of the North Platte River Drainage Basin is simply referred to in this report as the Basin. References to average in this document will refer to the average of the historical record for the years 1981-2010, except for water year 2012 information which uses the years 1982-2011. In each coming year this period will be advanced by one year to maintain a running 30-year average. INTRODUCTION The System of dams, reservoirs, and powerplants on the North Platte River (referred to as the "System" in this text) is monitored and in most cases operated and managed from the Wyoming Area Office in Mills, Wyoming. The operation and management of the System is aided by the use of a Programmable Master Supervisory Control, computerized accounting processes, an extensive network of Hydromet stations, control crest measurement weirs at gaging stations, SNOw TELemetry (SNOTEL) stations, and a snowmelt runoff forecasting procedure used by the Water Management Branch. The System consists of a number of individual water resource projects that were planned and constructed by Reclamation. The individual projects and features are operated as an integrated system to achieve efficiencies that increase multipurpose benefits. The drainage basin which affects the System covers an area from northern Colorado to southeastern Wyoming, encompassing 16,224 square miles. Storage reservoirs in the System include four off stream reservoirs known as the Inland Lakes in western Nebraska as shown in Figure 21.

  • SITEWIDE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EA-1236 For
    FINAL SITEWIDE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EA-1236 for PREPARATION FOR TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF NAVAL PETROLEUM RESERVE NO. 3 (NPR-3) Natrona County, Wyoming Prepared By U.S. Department of Energy Casper, Wyoming April 1998 - DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Preparation for Transfer of Ownership of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 3 AGENCY: Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) ACTION: Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Transfer of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 3 (DOE/EA-1236) SUMMARY: The Secretary of Energy is authorized to produce the Naval Petroleum Reserves No. 3 (NPR-3) at its maximum efficient rate (MER) consistent with sound engineering practices, for a period extending to Apr115 2000 subject to extension. Production at NPR-3 peaked in 1981 and has declined since until it has become a mature stripper field, with the average well yielding less than 2 barrels per day. The Department of Energy (DOE) has decided to discontinue Federal operation of NPR-3 at the end of its life as an economically viable oilfield currently estimated to be 2003. Although changes in oil and gas markets or shifts in national policy could alter the economic limit of NPR-3, it productive life will be determined largely by a small and declllng reserve base. DOE is proposing certain activities over the next six years in anticipation of the possible transfer of NPR-3 out of Federal operation. These activities would include the accelerated plugging and abandoning of uneconomic wells, complete reclamation and restoration of abandoned sites including dismantling surface facilities, batteries, roads, test satellites, electrical distribution systems and associated power poles, when they are no longer needed for production, and the continued development of the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC).

Present Owner/ Occupant: Present Owner is Natrona County Holding, LLC, and the occupant is Stranded Oil Resources Corporation, a subsidiary of Natrona County Holdings, LLC Present Use: The Teapot Dome Oilfield (9,481 acres) area is an active oilfield, producing both oil and gas from more than 500 wells. At the time of transfer out of federal ownership (January 2015), oil production was less than 500 barrels per day. Surviving structures and infrastructure associated with the original oilfield development (1922 to 1924) are ruins and are no longer in use. Significance: The Teapot Dome Oilfield is the popular name for the 9,481-acre Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 3 (NPR-3), significant for its 1922–24 engineering development by private producers on federal land, leading to a government scandal of national proportions.

  • 2016 Natrona County Development Plan
    2016 Natrona County Development Plan Purpose of the Development Plan The Natrona County Development Plan is an official guidance document adopted by the Board of County Commissioners as a policy guide for making decisions about the physical development of the County. It indicates how public officials and citizens desire the local area (referred to as the “planning area”) to develop in the future. It is an official statement of a governing body which outlines its major policies concerning future physical development. (For current zoning of a lot or parcel please refer to the Zoning Resolution of Natrona County). Natrona County has jurisdiction over land development on private lands and County owned lands in the unincorporated areas of the County, through zoning and subdivision regulations. In addition, there are critical relationships with the municipalities in the County and federal land managers that determine how land will be developed. It is the duty of Natrona County to administer its jurisdiction and relationships so that the people of Natrona County are able to use their land in a safe, effective manner, free from conflicts and in an economically viable fashion. It is the Board of County Commissioners duty to help insure that lands under County jurisdiction are sustained and provide a viable economic base for the County and its residents. The purpose of the County Development Plan is intended to: • Establish land use designations for the urban and rural areas of the County, so that the urban and rural communities can develop in a logical manner; • Establish land development policies so that the current zoning resolution and subdivision regulations can be updated and effectively administered; • Establish through the Goals, Policies, and Actions, in Chapter 2, a program for implementation of the plan and actions to develop a planning program in the County; • Establish interagency coordination between the County, municipalities, and other agencies; The plan is intended to be a living document.
