Compendium of Budget Information for the 2010 General Session

Natural Resources
Appropriations Subcommittee

Function

Hidden in the Book Cliffs of Emery County between the Tavaputs Plateau and the Green River, Range Creek valley was once the site of numerous Fremont Indian villages. Until recently, this remote canyon was private property and was off-limits to the general public. Because of its isolation, the thousand-year-old Fremont Indian artifacts are numerous and well preserved. Recently, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources obtained ownership of this area and implemented a policy of limited public access.

In FY2004, the property was acquired with Land and Water Conservation funding. During that Legislative session, DNR received an appropriation to manage and secure the property. The Division of Wildlife Resources was given the charge to define and implement a management plan. In FY 2010 the Range Creek property and its funding was transferred to the University of Utah.
