Of the 7,139 open Utah claims filed in the last 12 months, 70 have neither a map shape nor a legal description in the public layer, so their county cannot be told. They include 30 lode claims 'DOME HILL #' (UT106842998 to UT106843027, all created 28 August 2026, 'Filed'); 19 claims created 25 September 2026 named Bromide, COPPER KING, COPPER CREEK, PROSPECTORS DREAM and KIMBALL & TURNER (serials UT106849937 to UT106849973; 13 'Under Review', 6 'Filed'); and small groups from 29 September 2025 to July 2026 (SALT CREEK, SM, CC, HATCHS HAUL and single claims). None of the names points to Valar. Until BLM adds their legal descriptions, any of them could lie in Carbon County.

In plain termsA handful of very recent claims are not yet placed on BLM's map. None of the 37 Utah claims BLM shows as created since 12 September 2026 is an RW claim, so Valar's RW 453 (fld-002) has not been recorded with BLM as of 29 September. Looking up one of these serial numbers in BLM's records, or checking BLM's map once it places them, would show where they are.
verified 2026-09-29: Re-run 2026-09-29: 70 claims with neither shape nor legal description (73 lack a shape; 3 of those have a legal description); DOME HILL and 25 Sept groups match. Fixed: the small groups start 29 Sept 2025 (SALT CREEK), not October. Updated 2026-09-29 by Claude for the RW 453 notice (fld-002).
