Sites were digitized from NDOM plotted locations on 1:24,000 scale USGS topographic quadrangles. These locations were digitized from quadrangle maps supplied by the Division of Minerals. Each location has an associated record that identifies the map name, symbol type, mining district name determined from NBMG Report 47, Mining Districts of Nevada (if within a district), Division of Minerals serial number, land management code which identifies the site as being on Federally managed land or private (location data merged from digital land status coverage supplied by BLM), and UTM (zone 11, NAD27) location coordinates, and additional attribute data for each site supplied by the Nevada Division of Minerals. This digital file is named Dom_aml and contains approximately 7,503 locations These digital files are supplied in shapefile format and dBaseIII+ format. Purpose: To make available in digital format the Nevada Division of Minerals abandoned mine site locations for Nevada. Supplemental_Information: All data manipulations were performed to a standard that maintained the location accuracy of the initial data, i.e., the accuracy of paper copies of USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic maps.

Process_Step: Process_Description: A subset of the locations contained in the Nv_pts database, those that had numbered DOMID codes, was joined to a dataset of Abandoned Mine Sites provided by the Nevada Division on Minerals. The Nevada Division of Minerals dataset contains a listing of abandoned mine sites that pose a potential hazard to the citizens of Nevada and/or have been physically secured by the Division. These sites have been visited and/or secured by Division personnel who have then recorded the sites location and hazard information. As part of this project we digitized the location of these sites, from paper 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic maps, and attributed the point locations with the information available in the digital abandoned mines database maintained by the division. The database supplied by the Division of Minerals for this purpose was current as of January 2001. The point locations were joined to the digital attribute data based on the Division of Minerals DOMID number which was maintained throughout the project in both databases. There were 7,503 sites that had complete DOMID numbers in the point location file and those sites are contained in the Dom_aml shapefile. This file was also exported into a dBaseIII+ file format for compatibility with various other GIS and spreadsheet software.
