This is often done to keep oil wells or coal and uranium mines from certain usable areas.
There are huge usable coal beds in the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, and fifty years ago there were plans to build mime mouth power plants in those areas.

Bill Clinton got all that shut down 1n 1996.

Now entering National Monument. You must be Russian to mine uranium on this land.

Article 1 section VIII clause 17 violation of the Constitution.
Congress has that power, and even that is questionable because they need consent of the legislature of the state. also, not for the “construction of forts,magazines,arsenals, docks,and other needful buildings”.

“I just got sick of being told that every cool place in the West...”

I doubt that much of this is “really cool”, as it would have been in a park already. It is probably high desert scrub land.

1 million acres is about the size of Rhode Island.
Delaware is about 1.5 million acres.

Craig Ferguson when he was doing his routines.

“So great to be here at the Great North Winimucca Casino. It’s sad though - before the white man came there were casinos as far as the eye could see.”

Is BaiDung going to Arizona with no time to spare to visit the border and his child sex-trafficking pet project with the Cartels?

Anyone who believes the “sacred ground” crap has never driven through an Indian reservation.

The Great Spirit wants this land preserved for his Native American people to build sacred casinos on.
