This report presents the results of a geologic and mineral survey of wilderness study areas MT-075-101 through MT-075-110 Headwaters Resource Area, east of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Teton and Lewis and Clark Counties, Montana. The report also contains the results of a US Bureau of Mines mineral surevy of wilderness study areas MT-075-102, 105, 106, 107, and part of 110, Teton and Lewis and Clark Counties, Montana. The 10 US Bureau of Land Management areas have a high potential for hydrocarbon resources, mainly gas. The areas contain potential source and reservoir rocks and are in a structural setting favorable for hydrocarbon generation and accumulation. Seismic data are necessary for each area to determine if potential structural traps are present. Area 110 has a low potential for lead deposits. A mineral survey conducted by the US Bureau of Mines in 1983 indicated no identified mineral resources are in study areas MT-075-102, 105, 106, 107, and 110. 35 refs., 6 figs., 5 tabs. (ACR)
