Juab County, UT Mining Claims & Land Ownership Map
Current BLM claim data, land ownership layers, and rockhounding-ready backcountry navigation for Juab County, UT — built for the field.
Juab County sits at the absolute center of Utah rockhounding and historic silver-gold mining, spanning from the West Tintic Mountains out across the arid Thomas and Dugway ranges. Globally famous for Topaz Mountain, the Dugway Geode Beds, and the legendary Tintic Mining District around Eureka, the county draws crystal hunters, gold panners, and metal detectorists year-round. Public domain lands managed by the BLM Fillmore and Salt Lake field offices offer expansive desert territory for casual collecting and prospecting.
Geologically, Juab County features a dynamic volcanic and structural environment. Mid-Tertiary rhyolitic eruptive centers deposited topaz, bixbyite, pseudobrookite, and red beryl within gas cavities of the Thomas Range Rhyolite. To the west, Miocene volcanic geodes were eroded and concentrated by Pleistocene Lake Bonneville in the Dugway basin. Meanwhile, hydrothermal fluids injected rich silver, lead, gold, and copper replacement ores into faulted Paleozoic limestones across the Tintic district.
Navigating Juab County prospecting demands strict boundary awareness. Active unpatented lode and placer claims blanket historic mining slopes and fee-dig gem sites, interlocking with private patented property and state trust land. Referencing an active Juab County mining claims map enables rockhounds and prospectors to verify live federal BLM MLRS records, confirm open public domain ground, and explore backcountry desert ranges with complete confidence.

Staked Maps isn't crowd-sourced guesswork. Active and historical claim boundaries are parsed directly from the Bureau of Land Management's own MLRS/LR2000 case-recordation system — the same records BLM state offices use internally — and kept in sync with our database on a regular schedule. Rockhound Hotspots draw from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS), cross-referenced by material so you can see exactly what's been found at a given site. For legal filings, always confirm current status directly with your BLM state office of record; Staked Maps is a research and navigation tool, not a substitute for the official record.
Directly from the Bureau of Land Management's official MLRS/LR2000 case-recordation records, synced into our database on a regular schedule — not scraped or crowd-sourced.
Yes. The free tier gives you the interactive claims map, land ownership overlays, and basemap layers for your current state, auto-detected via GPS — no subscription required. Paid plans add more states plus premium data like full legal descriptions, historical claims, offline downloads, and Rockhound Hotspots.
Active claims currently have valid, in-good-standing filings with the BLM. Historical claims are expired or closed filings — still useful for understanding an area's mining history and past activity.
Free users can search by county. Paid plans add search by claim serial number, plus each claim's full legal (aliquot) description and BLM records link.
A premium map layer of known mineral and gem collecting sites — sourced from USGS records and labeled by material where available (e.g. turquoise, opal, jasper) — for rockhounds looking for their next find.
Staked Maps currently tracks 2,336 active and 38,003 historical mining claims in Juab County, UT, plus 849 Rockhound Hotspots — synced on a regular schedule directly from the BLM's own MLRS records.
