External Public Use. AUTHORITATIVE Source for Utah's RS2477 Roads. Managed by the Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office (PLPCO) Revised Statute 2477 (Section 8 of the Mining Act of 1866) is a federal law that authorized construction of roads across federal public lands. This law helped settle the West for 110 years. Residents of Utah, visitors, pioneers, and settlers created and used thousands of roads across public lands for farming, ranching, hunting, recreating, mining, and connecting communities. We continue to use many of these routes daily and some occasionally or seasonally. Congress repealed R.S. 2477 in 1976, and enacted the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA). This law departed from pro-development land policy and established a preference for retaining lands in federal ownership. Nonetheless, Section 701 of FLPMA preserved all R.S. 2477 rights-of-way that existed at the time FLPMA was passed and preserved them for public use. Today, the state and counties have to rely on R.S. 2477 to establish ownership of routes that have been used continuously for ten years prior to 1976. Data compiled as a collaborative effort with PLPCO, AGRC, Beaver, Box Elder, Carbon, Daggett, Davis, Duchesne, Emery, Garfield, Grand, Iron, Juab, Kane, Millard, Piute, Rich, San Juan, Sanpete, Sevier, Tooele, Uintah, Utah, Washington and Wayne Counties. Data is subject to change. This is a work in progress. Roads are claimed RS2477 rights-of-ways by the State of Utah. Questions, Comments or Corrections can be direct to the PLPCO GIS Manager, jasonwolf@utah.gov |
