    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1566-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF MOUNT NAOMI ROADLESS AREA, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH, AND FRANKLIN COUNTY, IDAHO By James H. Dover, U.S. Geological Survey and Philip R. Bigsby, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Mount Naomi Roadless Area (04758), Wasatch and Caribou National Forests, Cache County, Utah, and Franklin County, Idaho. Mount Naomi Roadless Area was classified as a further planning area during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE n)i by the U.S. Forest Service, January 1979. MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL SUMMARY STATEMENT Geological, geophysical, and geochemical investigations have been conducted to assess the mineral resource potential of the Mount Naomi Roadless Area (hereafter referred to as "study area"), northeastern Utah and southeastern Idaho.

It could be linking Safety Tip dedicated hunters to a guzzler installation or showing a prospective Eagle Scout a Mount Naomi 4 trailhead in need of improvement.

  • Wilderness Areas on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National
    Wilderness Areas On The Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forests “Wilderness is the land that was wild land beyond the frontier...land that shaped the growth of our nation and the character of its people. Wilderness is the land that is rare, wild places where one can retreat from civilization, reconnect with the Earth, and find healing, meaning and significance.” The United States was the first country to define and create designated wilderness areas. In 1964 the Wilderness Act was passed in congress. The Act describes wilderness as the following: "...lands designated for preservation and protection in their natural condition..." Section 2(a) "...an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man..." Section 2(c) "...an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvement or human habitation..." Section 2(c) "...generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable..." Section 2(c) "...has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation..." Section 2(c) "...shall be devoted to the public purposes of recreation, scenic, scientific, educational, conservation and historic use." Section 4(b) Within the Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forest there are 9 designated wilderness areas. These areas include: Mount Naomi Wilderness, Wellsville Mountain Wilderness, Mount Olympus Wilderness, Twin Peaks Wilderness, Lone Peak Wilderness, Mount Timpanogos Wilderness, Mount Nebo Wilderness, Deseret Peak Wilderness and the High Uinta Wilderness. Each of these areas offer unique wilderness opportunities and experiences. The Mount Naomi Wilderness was designated in 1984 and includes 44,523 acres.

  • APPENDIX C WILDERNESS EVALUATION Introduction Inventory Of
    Draft Environmental Impact Statement APPENDIX C WILDERNESS EVALUATION Introduction This appendix describes the process used to inventory and evaluate areas on the Wasatch – Cache National Forest for their potential as wilderness. Each of the 31 roadless areas is then summarized in an individual report describing an area’s wilderness characteristics, current resource uses, and the need for the area to be included in the wilderness preservation system. Inventory of Potential Wilderness Updating the 1983 Inventory Past roadless inventories, such as the 1983 Forest Plan roadless inventory were used as a starting point to identify roadless resources on the Wasatch – Cache National Forest. These areas were updated and new areas identified based upon criteria in: · FSH 1909.12 Inventory and Evaluation of Roadless Areas · Intermountain draft Roadless Inventory and Evaluation Guide (USFS, 1998) · 1984 Utah Wilderness Act A significant change since 1983 roadless inventory was completed was portions of Mount Naomi, Wellsville Mountains, Mount Olympus, Twin Peaks, Lone Peak and Deseret Peak (Stansbury Mountains) roadless areas became wilderness in 1984 by the Utah Wilderness Act. Lone Peak had become a wilderness area earlier with the 1978 Endangered Wilderness Act and no further acreage was added in 1984. Additional Areas Identified as Roadless Because different criteria were used for the 1999 inventory than those used in 1983, eight additional areas were identified as roadless since the 1983 Roadless Inventory: · Temple Peak (Logan Ranger District) · Boulder Mountain (Logan Ranger District) · Mahogany Range (Logan Ranger District) · Right Hand Fork (Logan Ranger District) · Sugar Pine (Ogden Ranger District) · Rock Creek – Green Fork (Ogden Ranger District) · Hogsback (Salt Lake Ranger District) Wasatch-Cache National Forest C - 1 Draft Environmental Impact Statement · Lone Peak Additions (Salt Lake Ranger District) Further, the Mount Logan 1983 roadless area was split into three separate roadless areas, because of constructed roads that were identified.
