Abstract

Summary: At the request of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, two areas in southern Utah (fig. 1) were studied in order to appraise their identified mineral resources and assess their potential mineral resources. The areas studied are the (UT-040-275) Wilderness Study Area, 5,100 acres (8 square miles), and the (UT-040-248) Wilderness Study Area, 70,380 acres (110 square miles), both in Kane County, Utah. In this report the areas studied are called wilderness areas, simply study areas, or Cockscomb or Wahweap as appropriate. The area (fig. 1) lies along the steeply east-dipping East Kaibab monocline, and the area, farther to the east, consists of flat-lying but gently folded rocks. These areas adjoin the Paria-Hackberry Wilderness Study Area (UT-040-247) to the west.
