Description:
Abstract:
This database contains the digitized location of mine
shaft, prospect, mine tunnel or cave, quarry, and
gravel-sand-clay or borrow pit locations from all Nevada
7.5' USGS topographic quadrangles. Included in this effort
was the identification and digitizing of Nevada Division of
Minerals hazardous mine site locations. 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 (for their sites only), 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. This digital file is
named NV_PTS. Approximately 106,209 of these locations were
digitized statewide. These digital files are supplied in
shapefile format and dBaseIII+ format.
Purpose:
To make available in digital format Nevada mine site
locations from USGS topographic maps.
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. In some cases the symbol locations are
duplicated between Nevada Division of Minerals and USGS
topographic mine symbol sites.

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. This
digital file is named NV_PTS. Mine/prospect
site locations where digitized from paper USGS topographic
maps and attributed according to the type of USGS symbol
used to represent the location on the map. Locations that
were also identified as sites visited or secured were
identified by adding "DOM" in front of the symbol type
classification. In some cases symbols were duplicated with
a DOM and non-DOM entry for the same site. Some sites are
new locations that DOM plotted on to a topographic map
which originally showed no mine/prospect symbol. DOM sites
were also attributed with the DOM serial number (DOMID)
which links the site to the Division of Minerals Database.
Many sites that where visited but were not considered a
hazard or have yet to be assigned an ID number were also
indicated on the maps and are also indicated in the
database with just a two-character county ID in the Domid
field and "DOM" preceding the site type classification.
