The U.S. Geological Survey states for the record that it has not conducted a survey of the mineral potential of the proposed wilderness area in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Available information indicates eight coal beds in the area and it could potentially be favorable for oil and gas, although no test wells have been drilled in the area. The north unit of the park is considered to be underlain by many deep salt beds.
