The wilderness study areas are Orderville Canyon, North Fork Virgin River, Deep Creek, Goose Creek Canyon, Beartrap Canyon, LaVerkin Creek Canyon, Taylor Creek Canyon, and Red Butte.
At the request of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted field studies of 3,000 acres and 7,600 acres, respectively, in the contiguous Upper Leslie Gulch and Slocum Creek Wilderness Study Areas (OR-003-074 and OR-003-075); the areas are located east of the Owyhee Reservoir in eastern Oregon. In this report, the study areas are referred to, individually or collectively, as the "wilderness study area" or simply the "study area." Fieldwork was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines during 1987 to evaluate the identified mineral resources (known) and the mineral resource potential (undiscovered) of the study area.
The San Rafael Swell wilderness study areas, including the Muddy Creek, Crack Canyon, San Rafael Reef, Mexican Mountain, and Sids Mountain Wilderness Study Areas, are in Emery County, south-central Utah. At least 4,100 current and historic mining claims have been located in or near the study areas, primarily for uranium. Vanadium is the most valuable byproduct of uranium mining, although minor copper, silver, lead, zinc, and gold also occur in some deposits.
