Item The Economic Impact of the Wyoming Outdoor Recreation Grant Program(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-04)This report estimates the economic impact of the Wyoming Outdoor Recreation ARPA Grant Program (WORG), which provided over $20 million in grants and received an additional $3 million in matching funds for a total investment of approximately $23 million in outdoor recreation infrastructure across Wyoming. These investments have generated measurable economic benefits, both in the short term through construction activity and in the long term through increased visitation and enhanced outdoor recreation access.Item Airborne Geophysics in Wyoming: Methods for Exploring Subsurface Geology(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-05)Wyoming’s diverse geology hosts numerous mineral resources, including hydrocarbons, uranium, rare earth elements, and precious metals, many of which have been exploited for more than a century. However, extensive mineral resources remain inaccessible or obscured by overburden—layers of soil and sedimentary rock—that hinder direct geological assessment. Airborne geophysical surveys offer a cost-effective solution by gathering extensive data on rock properties across large regions. Utilizing primarily magnetic and radiometric methods, these surveys reveal subsurface geology, guide mineral exploration, aid geologic mapping, and clarify surface processes. Since 2023, the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS), in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and private industry partners, has initiated extensive geophysical surveying efforts throughout central, southeast, and northeast Wyoming. Resulting data will significantly enhance the understanding of Wyoming’s subsurface geology, allowing improved assessment of mineral resources and geologic hazards across substantial portions of the state.Item Digital data for the geologic map of the Saratoga 30' x 60' quadrangle, Wyoming(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-05-21)The bedrock geologic map of the Saratoga, Wyoming 1 : 100,000 quadrangle was developed to provide regional scale geologic mapping for city and county planning, industrial and mineral development, and general public use. This dataset is a conversion of previously published map data to conform to GeMS (Geologic Map Schema) - a standard format for the digital publication of geologic maps - and is GeMS Level 3 compliant. The objective of the data conversion is to reproduce the original published mapping with little to no added interpretation.Item Digital data for the geologic map of the Baggs 30' x 60' quadrangle, Wyoming(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-05-21)The bedrock geologic map of the Baggs, Wyoming 1 : 100,000 quadrangle was developed to provide regional scale geologic mapping for city and county planning, industrial and mineral development, and general public use. This dataset is a conversion of previously published map data to conform to GeMS (Geologic Map Schema) - a standard format for the digital publication of geologic maps - and is GeMS Level 3 compliant. The objective of the data conversion is to reproduce the original published mapping with little to no added interpretation.Item Digital data for the geologic map of the Kinney Rim 30' x 60' quadrangle, Wyoming(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-05-21)The bedrock geologic map of the Kinney Rim, Wyoming 1 : 100,000 quadrangle was developed to provide regional scale geologic mapping for city and county planning, industrial and mineral development, and general public use. This dataset is a conversion of previously published map data to conform to GeMS (Geologic Map Schema) - a standard format for the digital publication of geologic maps - and is GeMS Level 3 compliant.
