Section 4 Southwest Area Including Evanston, Kemmerer, Green River and Rock Springs SECTION 4 SOUTHWEST AREA INCLUDING EVANSTON, KEMMERER, GREEN RIVER AND ROCK SPRINGS Wyoming, over half of the workforce in Rock Springs is employed by industry, principally min- ing, petroleum, power generation and related services. The coal mining industry continues to produce over ten million tons of coal annually, and the trona mines and plants are one of America’s most important natural resources, pro- ducing approximately fifteen million tons of trona per year. The five plants in the area produce 95% of the world’s natural soda ash. Sweetwater County’s trona deposit is large enough to produce at the same rate for the next 6000 years. The nearby Jim Bridger Power Plant is the largest electric generating plant in Wyoming. Located thirty-two miles east of Rock Springs, it has a generating capacity of 2000 megawatts. The plant is a coal-fired steam turbine. The county is also the largest producer of natural gas in the state. Some eleven billion cubic feet of gas can be produced annually. Much of the history of Rock Springs is based on its multi-ethnic influence. Rock Springs was once known as the “Melting Pot” of the West, with over 57 nationalities having lived here. Most came to work in the coalmines, and later in the oil and Section 4 The Black’s Fork River south of Green River gas fields.

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.

  • American Heritage Day
    American Heritage Day DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much.
