J. Douglas Causey 2005 1 vector digital data Digital Series 124 Menlo Park, CA U.S. Geological Survey http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/124 nm_pls_03 The nm_pls_03 spatial data set (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 January 15, 2004 for the period from 1976 to 2003. This spatial database was designed to be used with the U.S Bureau of Land Management LR2000 database. It contains a field, MTRS, that allows linking information in the LR2000 case_tbl and case_land tables. However, it is only valid for data downloaded from the LR2000 database January 15, 2004, since the database is dynamic and new information may have been added after that date, or older information corrected. en January 15, 2004 Date that BLM extracted mine claim data from their LR2000 database to provide to U.S. Geological Survey Complete Annually -109.048103 -103.108362 36.977852 31.333237 -109.048103-103.10836231.33323736.977852 None Mining claim Public Land Survey Meridian Township Range Section New MexicoNone None This spatial database is 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 database was 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. J. Douglas Causey U.S. Geological Survey Geologist mailing and physical address
