<br />Mineral Development Areas
<br />
<br />The land currently occupied and used exclusively in
<br />producing minerals is estimated to be about 34,000 acres
<br />distributed by subbasins as shown in table 16. This
<br />acreage does not include land owned, leased, or tem-
<br />porarily occupied for exploration. While the total
<br />acreage of land use by the mineral industry is small in
<br />comparison with other uses, it represents an important
<br />sector of the basin economy. The average annual value
<br />of production per acre is about $32,000, which is a
<br />measure of the monetary superiority in the acquisition
<br />and use of these lands compared with other uses. Tota\
<br />mineral production since \960 has been over one billion
