Publication_Date: 2006 Title: Mining claim activity on Federal Land in the contiguous United States, 1976 through 2004 Edition: 1 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Series_Information: Series_Name: U.S. Geological Survey Data Series Issue_Identification: DS-228 Publication_Information: Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2006/228/ Description: Abstract: The Public Land spatial data sets (shapefile) contains Public Land Survey section polygons that had mining claims recorded in the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's LR2000 database as of December 31, 2004 (from a May 26, 2005 data extraction) for the period from 1976 to 2004 in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Purpose: This set of spatial databases was designed to be used with the U.S Bureau of Land Management LR2000 database. Each shapefile contains a field, MTRS, which allows linking information in the LR2000 case_tbl and case_land tables. However, it is only valid for data extracted from the LR2000 database on May 26, 2005, since the database is dynamic and new information may have been added after that date, or older information corrected. Supplemental_Information: Data for the individual states are provided in separate files: > Shapefile State >----------------------- > az_pls_04 Arizona > ar_pls_04 Arkansas > ca_pls_04 California > co_pls_04 Colorado > fl_pls_04 Florida > id_pls_04 Idaho > mt_pls_04 Montana > ne_pls_04 Nebraska > nm_pls_04 New Mexico > nv_pls_04 Nevada > or_pls_04 Oregon > sd_pls_04 South Dakota > ut_pls_04 Utah > wa_pls_04 Washington > wy_pls_04 Wyoming Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 1976 Ending_Date: 2004 Currentness_Reference: ground condition Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: Annually Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -125 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -80 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 49 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 31 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: Mining claim Theme_Keyword: Public Land Survey Theme_Keyword: Meridian Theme_Keyword: Township Theme_Keyword: Range Theme_Keyword: Section Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Arizona Place_Keyword: Arkansas Place_Keyword: California Place_Keyword: Colorado Place_Keyword: Florida Place_Keyword: Idaho Place_Keyword: Montana Place_Keyword: Nebraska Place_Keyword: Nevada Place_Keyword: New Mexico Place_Keyword: Oregon Place_Keyword: South Dakota Place_Keyword: Utah Place_Keyword: Washington Place_Keyword: Wyoming Place_Keyword: United States Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: These spatial databases are not meant to be used or displayed at any scale larger than 1:100,000 (for example, 1:24,000).

The string is in the format MM TTTTT RRRRR SSS where MM is a 2-digit number, TTTTT is township, RRRRR is range, and SSS is section for any valid Public Land Survey values. Township and range are 5 characters of the form XXXYZ where X is a numeric, Y is 0 or 2, and Z is N or S for township and E or W for range. A Y value of 2 means that the township or range are fractional township or ranges, otherwise the value is 0. Section is a 3-digit numeric. Then all fields except MTRS were deleted. All datasets were then projected to Geographic coordinate system, NAD27 datum. The spatial databases were attached to a list of unique MTRS values from the LR2000 database and all polygons that had a record in the LR2000 database were selected. This selection was saved as the present shapefile. Process_Date: 2005 Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: J. D.
