STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS PRIMITIVE AREAS The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, Sept. 3, 1964) and the Conference Report on Senate bill 4, 88th Congress, direct the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to make mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially desig­ nated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System. Areas classed as '.'primitive" were not included in the Wilderness System, but the act provided that each primitive area should be studied for its suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. This bulletin reports the results of a mineral survey of the Gore Range-Eagles Nest Primitive Area, Colo. The area discussed in the report includes the Primitive Area as defined and bordering areas that may come under dis­ cussion when the area is considered for wilderness status or that provide geologic perspective of the area. The Primitive Area is referred to as the Gore Range Primitive Area in this report, and the total area that was studied is referred to as the Gore Range.

WILLIAMS, U.S. Bureau of Mines SUMMARY A mineral survey of the Gore Range-Eagles Nest Primitive Area and vicinity in central Colorado was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1969 and by the U.S. Bureau of Mines in 1968-69. An aeromagnetic survey was made earlier by the Geological Survey, in 1967. The Primitive Area as denned occupies about 96 square miles in the highest and roughest part of the spectacularly rugged Gore Range. Bordering areas on the flanks of the range were included in the study to obtain necessary perspective of the range as a geologic unit, and also to obtain information on areas that may come under discussion when the Primitive Area is considered for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. The total area considered herein is 215 square miles. Geologically, the Gore Range is a fault block of Precambrian rocks between the Gore fault on the west and the Frontal fault on the east. Sedimentary rocks west of the Gore fault are Paleozoic and younger, and those east of the Frontal fault are Mesozoic and younger. At the south, the range extends into the border zone of the Colorado mineral belt, which in this region in­ cludes the highly productive mining districts of Climax, Leadville, and Gilman, as well as many lesser districts. The Mosquito fault, one of the controlling features of the ore deposits at Climax and Leadville, extends into the southern part of the Gore Range and connects with both the Gore and Frontal faults. The block of Precambrian rocks that makes up the main body of the Gore Range is broken by many faults. The Gore and Frontal faults and many of the interior faults as well are old faults that were later reactivated when the range was elevated to its present height. This uplift began very late in geologic time and it continues to the present. The Frontal fault in particular shows evidence of very recent movement. The recent uplift, which began in late Tertiary time, produced a high scarp that forms the abrupt eastern front of the range, along the Frontal fault. Near Cataract Creek, Cl C2 STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS PRIMITIVE AREAS the line of recent uplift turns westward, along the north base of Eagles Nest Mountain, and connects with young faults parallel to the Gore fault on the west side of Mount Powell and in the upper Piney River drainage.

  • Statement of Dan Gibbs Executive Director Colorado Department Of
    Statement of Dan Gibbs Executive Director Colorado Department of Natural Resources Before The Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands of The House Natural Resources Committee April 2, 2019 Chairwoman Haaland, Ranking Member Young, and Members of the Subcommittee: On behalf of Governor Polis and the State of Colorado, we appreciate the opportunity to provide testimony on the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act (H.R. 823). We strongly support the CORE Act and hope Congress will move swiftly to enact it. Governor Polis would have liked to be here today with his former colleagues to express his strong support for this legislation. As you know, as a member of Congress, Governor Polis had sponsored the Continental Divide Recreation, Wilderness and Camp Hale Legacy Act, which has now been incorporated into the broader CORE Act. Introduction This legislation—the product of years of collaboration among elected officials, businesses, community members, and a myriad of other interested and affected stakeholders across Colorado—would protect some of the most beloved public lands in Colorado for their unsurpassed recreation, scenery, wildlife, watersheds, historic, and other unique values. As the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, I support this bill because it will benefit our wildlife by protecting critical habitat and migration corridors; it will protect the outstanding recreational experiences that bring people from across Colorado—and the world—to these special places; it will help safeguard Colorado’s water resources by protecting key watersheds and all water rights; it strikes the right balance by protecting key public lands from development, while protecting all existing mineral rights and leaving other appropriate lands available for mining, oil, and gas development; and because it complements the values and opportunities associated with our state lands.

  • Stakeholders Finalize Management Plan for Upper Colorado River
    News Release BLM Colorado, Colorado River Valley Field Office, Kremmling Field Office U.S. Forest Service, White River National Forest July 20, 2020 Contacts: Roy Smith, Bureau of Land Management, (303) 239-3940 Kay Hopkins, White River National Forest (970) 945-3265 Stakeholders finalize management plan for Upper Colorado River GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service have formally accepted the final plan from a group of Upper Colorado River stakeholders that seeks to protect recreational fishing- and boating-related values along the Upper Colorado River from Gore Canyon to lower Glenwood Canyon. The Upper Colorado River Wild and Scenic Stakeholder Group Management Plan represents more than twelve years of work by 26 entities with diverse interests on the Upper Colorado River, from municipal water providers to recreationists. “This diverse group, with seemingly different views for managing the Upper Colorado River, rolled up their sleeves and developed a plan that balances protection of the river with flexibility for water users. The work of this group serves as a model for other flow management efforts across the state,” said White River National Forest Supervisor, Scott Fitzwilliams. “The final plan addresses an arena where federal agencies have very limited authority,” said Larry Sandoval, Colorado River Valley Field Office Manager. “When our federal land management authorities are combined with this cooperative flow management effort, all of the important natural and social values in the river corridor are proactively managed.” In 2008, the stakeholder group formed as the BLM was revising its land use plans to include studies that determined which stretches of the Colorado River had specific values that make them “eligible” for protection under the 1968 Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.

  • COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by Vol
    The State Historical Society of Colorado THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by Vol. XXXIX Denver, Colorado, October, 1962 Number 4 Gold Boats on The Swan The Story of Ben Stanley Revett, Gold Dredger By Belle Turnbull* At the time that the material for use in writing about Revett was first examined, a number of papers were kept for reference. Of other papers, notes were made and the papers returned to Mrs. Melissa Hayden. At the time, since the objective was to use the notes for background in a story, notes were made sometimes without much attention to dates and sources, though they were kept in chronological order by year, only. For color and background the author is deeply indebted to the following, not one of whom is still living in 1962: George Robinson, dredgemaster, and later County Treasurer of Summit County and Mayor of Breckenridge; Mrs. Melissa Hayden, widow of Revett's secre­ tary, and herself Clerk of the District Court for many years; and George Robert Johnson, mining engineer, who permitted my presence on a gold dredge against the wishes of his swing shift crew, to whom a woman on board was anathema. Mr. Johnson's explanations of the operation of a gold dredge were lucid and helpful, even to a woman author. Thanks are also due to Gordon Goodridge, who dug in the Summit County records for data on placer grounds.-Author. In the history of deep mining for gold in Colorado, Ben Stanley Revett ranks as First Gold Dredger. Not only was he the first to carry through the financing, the building, and the management of the first dredge in Colorado to dig for gold; his resourcefulness and bulldog tenacity drove him on, year after year, to finish what he had begun: to find the best possible method of driving to bedrock and to bring up the gold.
