Didn’t Slick Willie put the U.S. best coal field into a National Monument there?

Escalante National Monument is in Utah, and was established during Franklin Roosevelt's presidency. In September of 1996, President Clinton designated Grand Staircase as a huge national monument, which at 1.9 million acres dominates any map of Southern Utah.

The combined monument is known as The Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument (GSENM). Originally 1,880,461 acres of protected land in southern Utah in 1996, the monument's size was later reduced by a succeeding presidential proclamation in 2017 (President Trump). The land is among the most remote in the country; it was the last to be mapped in the contiguous United States
