Millard County (Utah). County Recorder

Under the Carey Land Act desert lands were sold, settled, and cultivated in small tracts to settlers in Utah, as in other states. Some lands were opened to public sale and corporations were allowed to bid after applying for the public land sale. Applications for the program were handled through the state, but were approved by the United States Secretary of Interior. This record is of the land acquired through this program for mining companies and includes a description of the land; the person making the claim; date of claim; and final approval (if granted by application).
