However, the town built to house the miners originally known as Dragerton, more recently as East Carbon City is located in Carbon County. Older strata dating to the. Cambrian period have been penetrated by drill holes. The Coconino formation belongs to the Permian period, dated by geologists at more than million years ago, and was evidently deposited during a dry climate. The Kaibab limestone that sits atop the Coconino and forms wide benches in the eastern and southern parts of the Swell was deposited on the bottom of a warm sea described as extending west from the Gulf of Mexico and covering much of what is now the southwestern United States.
Rocks from the Triassic period about to million years ago are exposed over large parts of the Swell. The Moenkopi formation has three fairly distinct layers, including the Black Dragon member, a blue-gray or yellow-gray siltstone; the Sinbad limestone that forms benches surrounding Sinbad Valley; and an upper member of red-brown or gray siltstone. These formations had their origins in a time when an arm of the Pacific Ocean extended eastward into Utah, leaving deposits of various kinds as it periodically retreated or advanced.
Sometime in the middle of the Triassic period, the Pacific was shifted westward by the rising ground of the Mesocordilleran High in what is now eastern Nevada. The area that is now Emery County then became part of a large interior basin with a climate ranging from semihumid to arid. Under these conditions, the rocks of the Chinle group were deposited, including the Moss Back sandstone that has been the most productive source of uranium ore in the San Rafael Swell, including the deposits at Temple Mountain and Hidden Splendor.
Toward the end of the Triassic period and in the early Jurassic to million years ago , the climate grew more arid, and massive dunes of windblown sand spread across the land. These dunes eventually became the cliff-forming Wingate and Navajo sandstones, separated by the river-deposited Kayenta formation. Wingate cliffs surround the Head of Sinbad. Wingate, Kayenta, and Navajo formations are all apparent in Buckhorn Draw. In the mid- Jurassic period, a sea extended south from Canada into central and eastern Utah. The marine waters deposited immense quantities of salt in a deep trough located under the present Wasatch Plateau and Sanpete and Sevier valleys.
The grotesque sculptures of Goblin Valley are carved from Entrada sandstone. The greenish-gray Curtis formation and the thinbedded Summerville are found along the western and northern edges of the Swell. During the latter part of the Jurassic period, the sea retreated and Emery County was on a wide plain fed by rivers flowing from the west and south. The Brushy Basin and Salt Wash members of the Morrison formation that make a broad band across the western edge of the San Rafael Swell are products of this period.
The abundant fossil record indicates that the landscape included forests of Sequoia and other large trees, and shallow lakes filled with freshwater mollusks. About million years ago, deposits gradually started to accumulate, once again carried by rivers from higher country in what is now western Utah. The Cedar Mountain formation laid down during this period resembles the Morrison so closely that it was not identified as a distinct formation until ,by Cleveland native William Lee Stokes.
The most conspicuous member of the Cedar Mountain formation is the Buckhorn conglomerate that predominates in the area around Buckhorn Reservoir and on the western slopes of Cedar Mountain. The fossil record from the early Cretaceous period has been rather scanty, especially for dinosaurs. Hence the great paleontological significance of the Long Walk Quarry, opened in in the Cedar Mountain formation southeast of Castle Dale. The Sevier Orogeny, or mountain-building episode, dated by.
Seas swept into the region from the east, with the shoreline successively advancing and retreating through Emery County. These conditions persisted for some 60 million years, during which time marine deposits more than a mile deep were laid down over the region. When the sea was shallow, sandy deposits were washed down from the western mountains. When the sea advanced, muddy sediments accumulated, eventually becoming shale. When Emery County was a low-lying coastal plain, great forests and swamps grew in the river deltas.
Advancing waters then buried the organic material under fresh deposits of sand or mud, and the pressure of the growing overburden changed the organic deposits to coal. This entire series of deposits is known as the Mancos shale group. Its oldest member, the Tununk shale, forms the hills and flats east of Desert Lake and in the valley where the Castle Dale-Buckhorn road crosses Huntington Creek. Next comes the Ferron sandstone that caps Molen Reef and contains the coal fields southeast of Emery.
The Blue Gate shale is the notorious "blue clay" of Castle Valley. It continues around the base of the Tavaputs Plateau to Green River and beyond. The lower cliffs in the Wasatch Plateau escarpment are made up of Emery sandstone. The thick talus slope between the Emery and Star Point sandstones is Masuk shale. The Star Point sandstone can be traced as a distinct cliff line all along the Wasatch Plateau.
It became an important marker for economic geologists because it was early recognized that the lower part of the Black Hawk formation above the Star Point was the most likely place to find commercially valuable seams of coal. Above the Black Hawk is the cliffmaking Price River formation, whose most conspicuous member is the Castle Gate sandstone. The Book Cliffs are composed of the Price River and adjacent formations. Near the beginning of the Tertiary period, some 65 million years ago, the San Rafael Swell was uplifted as part of a more extensive mountain-building episode known as the Laramide Orogeny.
The area that is now the Wasatch Plateau was then a basin between higher regions to the east and west. This basin was filled by a long, relatively. Rivers draining into the lake deposited the sediments that became the North Horn formation that covers most of the Wasatch Plateau today.
The skeletons of mollusks and other animals settled to the lake bottom and became the Flagstaff limestone that caps many high peaks and ridges and forms the massive cliffs of White Mountain, west of Emery. The river-deposited Colton formation is found little if at all on the portion of the Wasatch Plateau in Emery County but appears farther north in Carbon County and forms part of the Roan Cliffs that cap the Tavaputs Plateau.
Later deposits of the Green River formation are also found on the Tavaputs. The disappearance of the early Tertiary lakes was followed by a million-year period of volcanic activity that largely missed Emery County except for some intrusive dikes in the southwestern corner. During this period, the entire Intermountain region rose from near sea level to its present elevation of a mile or more. The greater elevation increased the energy of the streams. The Colorado River captured the Green River which had previously flowed east from Wyoming into the Missouri River drainage and consolidated the drainage of eastern Utah, including the Price, San Rafael, and Muddy rivers.
To the west, the Great Basin subsided, and the Wasatch Plateau was uplifted. What we now recognize as the Emery County landscape was taking shape. The San Rafael Swell acquired its dramatic architecture from the differential erosion of its harder and softer strata. The Green River cut its canyons.
Faulting on the Wasatch Plateau produced the Joe's Valley graben. During the ice ages that ended only some ten thousand years ago, glaciers carved cirques into the higher ridges of the Wasatch Plateau and left moraine deposits on what would later become reservoir sites. Huge mammals roamed the region, including the mastodons whose skeletal remains have been discovered in several locations and the Columbian mammoth unearthed near Huntington Reservoir in , almost unique in its state of preservation and in the high elevation at which it was found.
By the time the. Prehistory Paleo-Indian Culture. Anthropologists use the term Paleo-Indian to designate the period from about 12, to 8, years before the present. Only scattered artifacts from this period have been discovered in the Emery County region, most notably fluted projectile points of a size to suggest that the Paleo-Indian people hunted big game, including mammoths, camels, bison, and giant sloths.
The earliest Paleo-Indian cultural complex clearly identified in Utah is the. Folsom projectile points resemble Clovis points but are somewhat smaller and more finely chipped. As the climate became warmer, however, the game may have retreated to the higher elevations on the Wasatch Plateau. Archaic Culture. As the large ice-age mammals disappeared, the Paleo-Indians were compelled to rely on a wider variety of animal and plant resources. Over the period from about 8, to 7, years before the present, the Paleo-Indian culture in the Colorado Plateau region evolved into the Archaic culture, characterized by sidenotched projectile points and migratory hunting and gathering prac-.
Populations and lifestyles varied in keeping with changing climatic conditions, but Emery County was occupied during all four identified phases of the Archaic era. The Castle Valley phase 6, to 4, years before the present experienced a drought period and a population decline, with an increased dietary reliance on grasses and forbs. Sudden Shelter is among the few sites containing remains from this phase. The Green River phase 4, to 3, years before the present brought a resurgence of hunting, especially for mountain sheep. The final Archaic phase, the Dirty Devil, brought a more sedentary lifestyle and the introduction of the bow and arrow and of corn.
The period from about 1, to 1, years before the present A. Emery County was an important center for the Fremont culture and home to what is known as the San Rafael variant. Judging from archaeological sites, the Fremont people were probably most numerous in the region from Ferron Creek to Ivie Creek, but remains of their dwellings and storage structures have been found in Joe's Valley and the lower canyons of the Wasatch Plateau, throughout Castle Valley, the San Rafael Swell, Range Creek, and the Green River canyons. During this period a largely sedentary, agricultural lifestyle developed, though much of the diet still depended on seasonal migration and hunting and gathering practices.
Rabbits, prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and deer provided most of the animal protein in the Fremont diet. The Emery Gray pottery became more decorated, and the Ivie Creek Black-on-White style appeared, as did a larger number of. Anasazi trade wares, coursed masonry dwelling and storage structures, and the intriguing clay figurines found at Range Creek and the Ferron area.
The Fremont people evidently practiced ditch irrigation as well as flood irrigation. Remains of irrigation ditches were reportedly found near the mouth of Ferron Canyon when the Anglo settlers first arrived. Excavations at several sites, including Innocents Ridge, east of Ferron, Old Woman, south of Emery, and three sites near Cedar Creek, north of Huntington, have indicated a pattern of small village sites, typically made up of fewer than a dozen dwellings. Fremont architecture in the Emery County area was "the most varied and elaborate of the five Fremont regions. In general, stone was used more extensively by the San Rafael Fremonts than by other Fremont groups.
Slab-lined storage cists are found only in Emery County. The predominant pottery type is called Emery Gray. In the collection are several unbaked clay figurines recovered from a sealed storage cist three miles east of Ferron. These figurines resemble the Pilling figurines from Range Creek, with appliqued clay facial features and ornaments. The collection also includes a small female figurine of fired clay, remarkable for its detail and its modeling in the round; a figurine carved from red stone, found near Fremont Junction; and three wooden figurines from Ferron Canyon, two of which resemble Hopi Kachina figurines.
There are also several animal-like figurines carved from bone, decorative items, and awls and needles also made from bone; a pipe made from deer antlers; and numerous pottery items and a wide variety of chipped stone points. One of the most intriguing items is a clay disk with radiating wooden spokes, which may resemble the legendary Hopi "water plant," intended to create springs of water.
Rock Art. Emery County is a virtual museum of prehistoric rock art, with many fine examples of both petroglyphs etched into the rock and pictographs drawn or painted on the rock surface. Most of these are thought to be products of the Fremont culture. There was a distinctive San Rafael art style just as there were distinctive architectural styles.
Fremont rock art panels typically incorporate anthropomorphs human-like figures , sometimes wearing what appears to be ceremonial costume; zoomorphs animal-likefigures , most commonly what appear to be representations of sheep and snakes; and abstract figures, including circles, concentric circles, rainbow arcs, and wavy lines. Sometimes the anthropomorphs are depicted with exaggerated genitalia, suggesting that they might be fertility icons.
Occasionally a humped-back flute player appears, resembling the Kokopeli figure of the Hopi. Compared with the Fremont rock art of the Uinta Basin, the San Rafael style tends to have more crowded panels with numerous small figures, anthropomorphs that are smaller and less elaborately decorated-sometimes merely stick figures-and a higher proportion of abstract elements. Another style of rock art found in Emery County is the Barrier. Restored Buckhorn Draw Pictograph Panel. Courtesy Reed E. Martin Canyon style, thought by some scholars to predate the Fremont era.
This style takes its name from the Great Gallery in Barrier or Horseshoe Canyon, an immense panel located in Wayne County a short distance south of the Emery County border. This style is characterized by highly abstract, elongated anthropomorphs, sometimes heroic in size, with small extremities or none at all, sometimes wearing headdresses, and often with large staring eyes producing a ghostlike effect.
Zoomorphs are also highly abstract. In addition to the better known panels, there are dozens of Fremont and Barrier Canyon sites known only to a few stockmen and rock hounds. Lee M. The Ute people were composed of several fairly distinct bands that occupied homelands. Although the bands sometimes raided one another, they shared a common language and culture, and trade and ceremonial interchange were carried on from band to band.
Maps of Ute homelands do not locate any particular band in what is now Emery County. Yet the accounts of early travelers indicate that there were Utes in the area. The San Pitch band, headquartered in the Sanpete and Sevier valleys, probably also made extensive use of western Emery County, as they continued to do on a seasonal basis well into the settlement era. Early explorers found established trails across the Wasatch Plateau, including trails through Rock Canyon and Convulsion Canyon that provided routes between Castle Valley and the high country without the impediment of the stream meanders in the larger canyons.
The Green River Valley, with its riverine plant life and access to the hunting grounds on the Tavaputs Plateau, was a permanent or semipermanent dwelling site, perhaps for members of the Sheberetch band that also occupied the Dirty Devil region and the area at the base of the LaSal Mountains. It is likely that the Green River crossing was also used in the commerce between the large Tumpanawach band of Utah Valley and the Utes of western Colorado.
Stokes and Cohenour, Geological Atlas of Utah, This valley appears on some maps as Gunnison Valley. However, there are several other Gunnison valleys in Utah and Colorado. To avoid possible confusion, and in deference to local usage, the designation Green River Valley will be used in this book.
Stokes, Geology of Utah, 98, DeCourten, "Long Walk Quarry," Stokes, Geology of Utah, , 1, , , George W. James H. Alan R. Madsen, "Fremont Sites," Gunnerson, "Fremont Culture," Joseph C. Winter and Henry G. Gunnerson, "Unusual Artifacts," Castleton, Petroglyphs and Pictographs, , The earliest recorded entry into what is now Utah was the exploring expedition of Juan Maria Antonio Rivera in Rivera, however, proceeded no farther than Spanish Valley the present site of Moab.
The Dominguez-Escalante expedition in bypassed the Emery County region. It is likely that an active trade was carried on between the Spanish settlements in New Mexico and the Utes of central Utah after and perhaps even before the Dominguez-Escalante visit. Since Rivera had charted a route as far as the Colorado River, it is also likely that the Green River crossing became part of this trade route as it was more direct than the Dominguez-Escalante route. No detailed account of their route has been found, so it is not clear whether they came by way of the Green River crossing.
They encountered hostility from the Indians on the Sevier River but escaped to Spanish Valley where Chief Guasache Wasatch was waiting to trade with them, "as was his cus-. The most direct route from the Sevier to Spanish Valley would probably have taken the Arze-Garcia party through what is now Emery County. However, the story is considered spurious by some historians of the fur trade. In any event, there is no independent evidence for the episode or for Santa Fe to Los Angeles trade as early as The earliest authenticated literary record of an Anglo-American visitor to the Emery County region occurs in the account of Jedediah S.
Smith's southwestern expedition of This expedition, the first recorded overland journey to California by an American, has long been regarded as one of the most important exploring journeys in the West, but it was assumed that Smith had followed the general route of the Dominguez-Escalante expedition from Utah Lake to the Sevier River. However, in a detailed narrative of the expedition was discovered in St.
Louis, prepared from Smith's notes by his scribe Samuel Parkman. This account indicates that the Smith party did not proceed directly to the Sevier from Utah Valley. Instead they went into the mountains, probably by way of Spanish Fork Canyon, and reached the Colorado River drainage. The account, containing the first written description of what is now Emery County, reads: I then moved on South having a high range of mountains on the West and crossing a good many small streams running east into a large valley the valley of the Colorado.
But having learned that the valley was verry barren and Rocky I did not venture into it. The country is here extremely rough little appearance of Indians and game quite scarce a few Mt. Sheep and Antelope. It is not possible from this brief account to identify Smith's exact route. The statement that he traveled south with "a high range of mountains on the West" suggests that he passed through Castle Valley.
If so, the "low place in the Mountain" might well have been Rock Canyon with its established Ute trail. On the other hand, the statement that he "did not venture into" the large valley could mean that the Smith party traveled south through the graben valleys of the Wasatch Plateau. The report of "crossing a good many small streams" fits well with this route, though the scarcity of game does not.
In any case, Smith's description of Castle Valley as "barren" and "unpromising" strikes a note that would be repeated again and again by other early travelers. Other trappers probably entered the Emery County region by way of the Green River. The mountain men knew the upper Green very well, and trading posts were established in the Uinta Basin as early as the s. Evidence of their presence on the lower stretches of the river is somewhat sketchy, mainly consisting of the name "D.
Julien" and the date written on the canyon walls. T h e Spanish Trail. The main travel route through the Emery County region during the first half of the nineteenth century was the Spanish Trail, which has been called "the longest, crookedest, most arduous pack mule route in the history of America. While the route was fairly definite at key points such as the Green River crossing and in narrow passes, in more open country it was highly variable.
This was especially true when large herds of horses and mules were being driven to New Mexico, requiring feed along the way. From the Green River crossing, the trail went west to a camp at what was known as Green River Spring. The route through Cottonwood Wash later adopted by the unfinished Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad grade and later still used as the corridor for a high-voltage electrical transmission line approximates the course of least resistance that was most likely followed by caravans on the Spanish Trail. Near the summit, the trail divided with one branch going to Fish Lake and on through Grass Valley and the other crossing the northwest shoulder of the Fish Lake Plateau and entering Sevier Valley near the present site of Sigurd.
The first recorded journey over the entire Spanish Trail began in September , when a party of trappers led by William Wolfskill set out for California from Taos, New Mexico. Except for Wolfskill's ledger, the surviving accounts of this expedition were all written several years after the event. The most detailed narrative is that of George C. Yount, dictated to an Episcopal clergyman named Orange Clark sometime around The reference to St. Joseph's Valley as an established name suggests that there must have been travel on the Spanish Trail before the Wolfskill expedition.
The characterization of Castle Valley as "the. For the next two decades, the Spanish Trail was an important commercial route, with one major caravan each year travelling from "the land of sheep" to "the land of horses" and back. These consist of men on horseback, accompanied by mules laden with fabrics and large woolen covers called serapes, jerzas, and cobertones, which are valued at 3 to 5 piasters each. This merchandise is exchanged for horses and mules, on a basis, usually, of two blankets for one animal. This trip consumes two and one-half months. By the s there were herds of stolen animals in addition to the official caravans, as the Utes under Chief Wakara and mountain men such as Pegleg Smith discovered that raiding was more profitable than trading.
California mules, larger and stronger than those bred in the States, commanded high prices on the Santa Fe Trail. Kit Carson, The last major caravan traveled the Spanish Trail during and Not long after its departure from Los Angeles in April , a small party led by frontier scout Kit Carson also set out from California carrying government dispatches for delivery to Washington, D. In Carson's party was a young army lieutenant named George D. Brewerton, who later published an account of the journey.
Brewerton reported catching large numbers of trout in the streams feeding the lake, indicating that they probably. Brewerton gave no details about travel through Castle Valley, but he did describe the party's difficult crossing of the Green River on 3 June. In his account he calls it the Grand River, but it must have been the Green as it was the first of the two major rivers they crossed. The gold rush that ensued over the next several years marked the end of the Emery County portion of the Spanish Trail as a major route to California as more direct routes were developed through Arizona and along the Humboldt River in Nevada.
Some travelers, however, continued to follow the Spanish Trail, and indeed the most detailed descriptions of the trail through Emery County date from the years following its decline as an important trade route. Orville C. Pratt' Pratt left Santa Fe for a War Department assignment in California on 27 August , supplied with an escort of sixteen men and a route log compiled by a mountain man named B. Pratt described the Green River, which he reached on 18 September, as "a large mountain stream, full yards wide, but not so rapid as the 'Grand. The men fared somewhat better, catching "mountain trout weighing at least 6 pounds!
They resemble greatly the celebrated 'Mackinaw trout' in looks but are nothing so good. The party crossed the river on 19 September. They lost the trail and were forced to camp that night without water. On the 20th they retraced their path until they found the trail, nooned at Green River Spring, and camped that night near a pothole, probably in the Big Holes area. On 21 September Pratt reported, "Made a fine march today of 30 m.
Pratt's party traveled to "Garambuya" Ferron creek on 22 September and the following day continued on through rain and hail to the "Rio Del Puerto," or River of the Pass probably Ivie Creek. On the 24th they crossed Wasatch Pass, meeting "four Eute Indians" to whom they traded a rifle for "a fine horse. Evidently they did not find Indians at the Green River crossing-though it is likely that Ute horses were the reason for the scarcity of grass there.
Choteau's trail log said of the Green River crossing, "There may be some Eutes here. E Beale, A twelve-man party under the direction of E. Beale was on his way to California to take up an appointment as Indian superintendent. In the party was Gwinn Harris Heap, who the following year published a book about the journey, Central Route to the Pacific, from the Valley of the Mississippi to California. Heap gave a more detailed description of the Emery County landscape than any previous traveler.
The party reached the Green River on 25 July. Heap wrote, "The scenery on its banks was grand and solemn. The bullhides were full of holes, having been used to cross several other rivers, and required patching with India-rubber blankets. When the crossing was completed, Beale made a present of the boat to a party of twenty-five mounted Utes who met them on the west bank and who promptly tore it apart for moccasin leather.
They camped "in. The following morning, the Utes, w h o h a d seemed friendly the night before, showed a disposition to be insolent, but our party kept close together, and they did not dare to commence hostilities. Most of them had rifles, and all had bows and quivers full of arrows with obsidian heads. They accompanied us for some miles, importuning us for presents, and finally left us in a bad humor. This was the period of the "Walker War" , which perhaps accounts for the Utes' "insolence.
Heap describes the water as "cool, b u t n o t abundant; it is, however, constant, and good grass and some cottonwoods and willows are found around it. At our encampment, the creek was seven yards in breadth and eighteen inches deep. The water was cool and sweet, and good pasturage on its banks. O n 28 July Heap reported, Traveled twenty miles south by west, and halted at noon on the Rio del Moro Castle Creek, so called on account of the buttes near it resembling fortifications.
In ten miles from the San Rafael, crossed a broad brook of clear and cool water, running into Green River. Between the streams vegetation was scanty and stunted, and the soil clayey, dry, and barren; to the westward were steep hills, beyond which could be seen the green and wooded slopes of the Wahsatch range. The "broad brook" ten miles from Cottonwood Creek would have been Ferron Creek. That would make the "Rio del Moro" Muddy Creek. Heap remarked upon the architectural forms into which the Mancos shale had been sculpted near the mouth of Muddy Creek Canyon: At times, long lines of battlements presented themselves; at others, immense Gothic cathedrals, with all their quaint pinnacles and turrets, which reminded us of the ruined castles and churches that we had seen in our travels in the old world.
The different colors of the clay added to the singularity of the scenery, and strengthened the resemblance. Along this stretch of the trail, the party crossed cattle tracks going north. Heap surmised that these were livestock stolen by the Utes from the Mormon settlements in Sanpete Valley. Gunnison, A few weeks after the Beale party, another expedition passed through Emery County, this time with the official charge to explore a route for a proposed transcontinental railroad.
While other parties were assigned to explore northern and southern routes, Captain John W. Gunnison of the Topographic Engineers was given responsibility for the central route along the 38th and 39th parallels. The Gunnison expedition was the first on record to bring wagons through Emery County, thereby changing a trail into some semblance of a road. Gunnison did not long survive his journey through Emery County. Together with seven of his men, he was killed by Pahvant Indians on the lower Sevier River on 26 October. The report of the expedition was completed by Gunnison's assistant, Lieutenant E.
Beckwith reported that the party reached the Green River on 30 September. The river is yards wide, with a. They are the merriest of their race I have ever seen, except the Yumas-constantly laughing and talking, and appearing grateful for the trifling presents they received. A wrinkled, hard-faced old savage, with whom I shared my luncheon of bread and bacon, quite laughed aloud with joy at his good fortune.
They confirmed the report we had before heard of a war between the Mormons and Wah-ka-ra's Walker's band of Utahs, and his absence in New Mexico to dispose of a herd of cattle which he had stolen from them. Oddly enough, Beckwith greatly underestimated the magnitude of the plateau that now bears his name, describing it as "but a few hundred feet high.
As we approached the river yesterday, the ridges on either side of its banks to the west appeared broken into a thousand forms-columns, shafts, temples, buildings, and ruined cities could be seen, or imagined, from the high points along our route. On 7 October, probably a few miles east of Wellington, they turned southwest and passed through the area where Victor and Desert Lake were later established. He wrote, There is not a tree at the point where we crossed this stream; a narrow bottom is covered with dry grass and willow bushes, intermixed with the buffalo berry bush thickly covered with fruit.
Two miles and a half from the San Rafael we came upon a branch of that river of half its size, with dry grass covering bottomlands a half. On some such spaces today we counted from fourteen to twenty parallel trails, of the ordinary size of Indian trails or horse-paths, on a way barely fifty feet in width.
Specimens of coal were brought in from the hills near camp, but were inferior in quality. Their camp at this time was on "Big Rock Creek" presumably Muddy Creek , so the coal probably came from outcrops in the Ferron sandstone of the Molen Reef. On 12 October the party continued through a "broken valley" and across two small creeks to a camp at Oak Spring. Here their Indian guide "told us that a circle in red, high up on a sheltered rock on the face of one of the hills, where some rude human figures are seen, also sketched in red lines, was called Akanaquint.
The country is very rocky sandstone, broken, upheaved, and intersected in every direction by ravines, chasms, and beds of creeks. A little bunch grass is scattered over the hills, but they are generally barren or covered, as on the margins of the streams, with sage. The summit of the Wahsatch mountains is a finely-grassed region but entirely unfit for cultivation. It is not too much, therefore, to say, that, unless this interior country possesses undiscovered mineral wealth of great value, it can contribute but the merest trifle towards the maintenance of a railroad through it, after it shall have been constructed.
It is interesting to compare the various descriptions of the streams flowing through Castle Valley. The measured annual flow of Huntington Creek is in fact somewhat smaller than that of the other two streams. However, Beckwith made his observations in the fall, when presumably all mountain snowpack was exhausted and the streams were fed entirely by springflow.
Probably a larger share of Huntington Creek water comes from perennial springs, and therefore it would be a larger stream in the late season, while the Price and Cottonwood would be larger during the snowmelt season. Heap, traveling in July, did not explicitly compare the flow of the Huntington and Cottonwood creeks, but his account suggests that he found the Cottonwood a more impressive stream. His description of it as "seven yards in breadth and eighteen inches deep" would still be reasonably accurate for late July in an average year, if there were no storage impoundments.
This suggests that precipitation and streamflow have neither increased nor decreased significantly over the last century and a half, contrary to claims sometimes heard that the region used to be wetter than it is today. John C. Fre'mont, John Charles Frkmont, who had cultivated a reputation as the western "pathfinder," had hoped to be chosen to lead the central railroad survey. When Gunnison was appointed instead, Frkmont, with the support of his influential father-in-law, Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri, organized a private expedition for the same purpose.
He started later than Gunnison, partly because of illness but in part because he was determined to prove by a winter crossing that the central route was usable in all seasons. This determination, combined with inadequate preparations and an unusually severe winter, brought the expedition to the brink of disaster. The most detailed report of the Frkmont expedition is a retrospective account published in by Solomon Nunes Carvalho, the party's artist and daguerreotypist. One of Frkmont's goals was apparently to seek a more direct route across Utah than that provided by.
A map published with Frkmont's memoirs in indicates that the expedition crossed the Green River near the mouth of the San Rafael, twentysome miles south of the Spanish Trail crossing. On their arrival at the river, the party saw "several Indians" watching them from "high sand bluffs" on the west bank. He crashed, ran, then killed himself. And his vehicle had a passenger!

The problem with the California state budget is coming home to roost for Modoc Medical Center. While times are lean, the City of Alturas remains fiscally sound for the year.
Mayor John Dederick said with 75 percent of the fiscal year done, the budget is on track to end the year balanced. More snow is expected over the next few days in Modoc, which will add to an already heavy pack in the mountains. The key to the latest measurements is the large amount of water in the snowpack.

This photograph breaks my heart.
Washington, DC used to have so much character. But we don't have anything like the set of buildings in this original photograph anymore. And, what's more, we never will again. And I missed it! This project is the only way I can ever see the way Washington, DC used to look, back when you could build four incredible buildings like these next to each other.
It makes me very sad. I want to step into this photograph and go join those folks in line. I want to eat at the Acropolis Cafe. I want to visit the Gayety. And yet, the only thing left from this scene is the red brick building on the left. You cannot convince me that Washington, DC is better off by having the modern blahbuilding taking up this space instead.

Toni Collette receives Best Actress nomination for 24th Critics' Choice Movie Awards
The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) announced today the nominees for the 24th Annual Critics' Choice Awards. Their nominations are always a curious case, as they have been criticised in the past to nominate people on their buzz, and getting a full house. This year, they made the strange decision to give out seven slots for Best Actress, but Toni's in, so who cares :-) She shares the category with Yalitza Aparicio for Roma, Emily Blunt for Mary Poppins Returns, Glenn Close for The Wife, Olivia Colman for The Favourite, Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born and Melissa McCarthy for Can You Ever Forgive Me? – so, basically everyone who's in talk for Best Actress anyway. "Hereditary" has received a second nomination for Best Sci-Fi or Horror Movie alongside Annihilation, Halloween, A Quiet Place and Suspiria. The winners will be revealed at the star-studded Critics' Choice Awards gala, broadcast live on The CW Network on Sunday, January 13, 2019 from 7:00 – 10:00 pm ET (delayed PT).

Greta Gerwig just became the fifth woman ever to be nominated for Best Director at the Oscars
Genelle Levy
Everyone remember Natalie Portman's pointed critique of the Golden Globes' all-male nominees for best director? We thought so. That's why it was particularly great news when Greta Gerwig became the fifth woman nominated for the Oscar's Best Director category on January 23rd.
Gerwig wrote and directed Lady Bird, a coming-of-age tale about a teen girl in Sacramento, California starring Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf as a mother-daughter duo. The film received a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has gone on to win several major awards throughout the current awards season.
In the Academy Award's 90 year history only four other women have been nominated for Best Director, including Sofia Coppola for Lost in Translation and Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker. Bigelow is the only woman to actually have won the award.
#Oscars: Greta Gerwig becomes the fifth woman ever nominated for Best Director https://t.co/yxkq1xaY0N pic.twitter.com/Ys7QxnGHtQ
— Hollywood Reporter (@THR) January 23, 2018
Earlier this month, CNN reported that a study from San Diego State's Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film found that the number of female directors is declining. Only 7% of the top-grossing films this year were directed by women, which is down from 9% in 2015.
Another study from Directors U.K. explores the cause, explaining that much of the entertainment industry is based on freelancing and hiring is done on a project-by-project basis. There's no HR personnel to monitor hiring, meaning it's incredibly easy for patterns of tradition — and discrimination — to continue.
However, Lady Bird earned $375,612 at its box office debut — an impressive amount for an indie film. The payoff is big when women are allowed to lead in Hollywood, so here's hoping Gerwig takes home the prize at the 2018 Oscars, so that the example can be set.

HomeLacrosseOrange dominate Great Danes
Orange dominate Great Danes
March 15, 2011 Wes Cheng Lacrosse
A quick take on Syracuse's 18-13 win over Albany:
How the game was won: It was the Tim Desko and Tommy Palasek show again. The two attackmen combined for eight goals as Syracuse (5-0) went into halftime with a commanding 9-3 lead en route to an 18-13 win. The margin would balloon to 18-9 with 7:53 left in the game as the Orange dominated all aspects of the game. It had a 37-21 advantage in ground balls, outshot the Great Danes 46-32 and also forced 19 Albany (3-2) turnovers. The final few minutes were ugly, as Albany dominated garbage time, scoring the last four goals. Ty Thompson led the Great Danes with three goals.
What it means: The Orange is off to its best start since the 2000 season when Syracuse opened at 7-0 en route to a 15-1 season and the national championship. Offensively, it was a great day for Syracuse, as it doubled its total output against Georgetown and set a season high in goals. The Orange improved to 9-0 all time against the Great Danes.
Brotherly love: If you remember back to Syracuse's game against Army on Feb. 27, Syracuse attackman JoJo Marasco faced off against his brother, Matt, who played defense for the Black Knights. SU's matchup against Albany again paired siblings against each other as senior midfielder Jeremy Thompson played his younger brother Miles, a freshman attackman. Miles ended up with a goal and an assist, while the elder brother scored two goals and had two assists, and, more importantly, won bragging rights.
Quote to Note: "We got a lot of guys who we wanted to get some game experience, and they did today. We gave up a few too many goals, more than we wanted to, but to get our younger guys some experience today, it was a good W for us." – Syracuse coach John Desko during his post game press conference.
What's next: The Orange will play Johns Hopkins at the Carrier Dome on Saturday. The Blue Jays improved to 5-1 on the year after a dominant 16-5 victory over UMBC in the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday.

NCAA East regional preview


Thanks to a thrilling 2-0 win at Getafe, Leganes moved one step closer to securing the La Liga survival, but they can't afford any complacency in the season finale. The capital club will surely take Thursday's football game against Real Valladolid very seriously and despite the fact that they head into the midweek fixture with a severely-weakened squad, we believe that they are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration.
La Pucela are fighting hard to avoid the drop to Segunda Division, but seeing that they often struggle on the travels, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. Santos Michael scored his first goal of the season in the 2-0 win over los Azulones and he is surely eager to add more goals to his account. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Leganes as they impressed in their last league match.
