A large historic mining district in southern Utah was defined and
recorded  by Everett Bassett of Dames & Moore and included a large number
of uranium mines. This was the Silver Reef Historic Mining District done
for the Division of Oil Gas and Mining's Abandoned Mines Program. The
work won some sort of national award from the Secretary of the Interior
and may be of use to you.
