Time Travel on National National historic trails closely follow historical travel routes. They represent important periods in United States history, from early exploration and trade to westward expansion. Historic trails celebrate the hundreds of thousands of emigrants who traveled to make their homes in the west. They also remind us of the challenges and hardships of Native Americans. Many of 4 these trails were routes traveled by Native Americans for hundreds to thousands of years. In the nation’s early years, trails and rivers were the primary connections between towns and farms, cities, and settlements. As the nation grew in size, Americans looked westward for new opportunities. First on foot and horseback and later in wagons, people took to the trails and headed west.

Northern Utah was in many ways a Crossroads long before the emigrants, settlers, railroad and military came here. As early as pre-Fremont Native Americans, we find evidence of trails and trade routes across this geographic area. The trappers and traders, both English and American, knew the area and crisscrossed it following many of the Native American trails. They also established new routes. Explorers sought additional routes to avoid natural barriers such as the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. As emigrants and settlers traveled west, knowledge of the area spread. The Crossroads designation was permanently established once the Railroad spanned the nation.

  • Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Management Tool: Managing Recreational Uses April 5, 2019
    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Management Tool: Managing Recreational Uses April 5, 2019 Purpose This document serves as a tool to promote consistent management of recreational uses on the congressionally-designated Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT). This is a living document that will be reviewed annually to determine if updates are needed based on lessons learned from implementation. This document contains: 1. Guiding Principles for managing recreational uses on the CDT, 2. A table of considerations for managing authorized special uses on the CDT (Table 1), and 3. A table to assist line officers when making decisions on whether to allow mechanized use, such as bicycle use, on a newly constructed or relocated CDT segment1 (Table 2). Scope of this Document This document generally applies to CDT segments where mechanized use and/or recreation special uses are not expressly prohibited by law or policy.2 This document does not create new policy, rather, it clarifies CDT management within existing law and policy, and is consistent with the core values outlined in the Forest Service’s National Strategy for a Sustainable Trail System (Trails Strategy).3 Background National Scenic Trails are to be “so located as to provide for maximum outdoor recreation potential and for the conservation and enjoyment of the nationally significant scenic, historic, natural, or cultural qualities of the areas through which such trails may pass” (16 U.S.C. 1242(a)(2)). 4 The CDT’s nature and purposes are “to provide high-quality, scenic and primitive hiking and horseback riding opportunities and to conserve the natural, historic and cultural resources along the CDNST corridor” (2009 CDT Comprehensive Plan).

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 16 USC 1244 the United States of America in Congress assembled, note. SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) FINDINGS.ÐThe Congress finds and declares the following: (1) The City of Casper, Wyoming, is nationally significant as the only geographic location in the western United States where four congressionally recognized historic trails (the Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, the California Trail, and the Pony Express Trail), the Bridger Trail, the Bozeman Trail, and many Indian routes converged. (2) The historic trails that passed through the Casper area are a distinctive part of the national character and possess important historical and cultural values representing themes of migration, settlement, transportation, and commerce that shaped the landscape of the West. (3) The Bureau of Land Management has not yet estab- lished a historic trails interpretive center in Wyoming or in any adjacent State to educate and focus national attention on the history of the mid-19th century immigrant trails that crossed public lands in the Intermountain West. (4) At the invitation of the Bureau of Land Management, the City of Casper and the National Historic Trails Foundation, Inc. (a nonprofit corporation established under the laws of the State of Wyoming) entered into a memorandum of under- standing in 1992, and have since signed an assistance agree- ment in 1993 and a cooperative agreement in 1997, to create, manage, and sustain a National Historic Trails Interpretive Center to be located in Casper, Wyoming, to professionally interpret the historic trails in the Casper area for the benefit of the public.

  • Mormons and the Ecological Geography Of
    Changes in the West : Mormons and the ecological geography of nationalism by Willard John McArthur A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Montana State University © Copyright by Willard John McArthur (1999) Abstract: Environmental historians have made fruitful endeavors in exploring the ways in which human communities modify the landscapes in which they live. However, nationalism is one area that has exhibited a tremendous influence on the course of modem history, yet has been little studied in its relationship to the environment. This thesis looks at the ways in which nationalism-a sense of connection to the larger nation— has influenced those modifications, and how those modifications have influenced and affected those making changes. This thesis looks to the early Mormon migrants to the West as a case study on how nationalism has influenced environmental change. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this argument relies on the work of intellectual historians of nationalism, environmental historians, geographers, and ecologists\biologists. Using these studies as a framework, this thesis posits a method for identifying nationalized landscapes: recognizing circumscribed landscapes, simplified environments, and lands that are connected spatial and temporally to the larger nation identifies a nationalized landscape. In particular, this thesis looks at fish, trees, and riparian zones as areas of change. Using the identifying markers of circumscription, simplification, and connection has uncovered that Mormons did indeed make changes in the landscape that were influenced by nationalism. These changes made to the land, influenced by nationalism, created a redesigned nature, that in turn influenced human relationships.
