Mining Claims

A mining claims mapping tool built to help miners, prospectors, researchers, and land users explore mining claim locations and understand how land is described in the United States. Learn about placer and lode claims, senior rights, co-occurrence concepts, and how the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is used to define sections, townships, and ranges.

This site provides map based visualization and general educational information about mining claims, land status, and mineral activity on public lands.
