The Clarion River Roadless Area is a small tract of rough terrain situated at the southeastern corner of the Allegheny National Forest and bounded on the south by a bend in the Clarion River. The roadless area has a substantiated resource potential for gas and a probable potential for oil. About 1.3 million short tons of coal in beds between 14 and 28 in. thick have been identified in the area. Construction materials occur in the area, but no resource potential is identified; there is little promise for the occurrence of metallic mineral resources in the area. This assessment is based on a mineral-resource survey conducted in 1980 by the USGS and USBM.
