Description:
Abstract:
This is the 100k Public Land Survey System (PLSS) coverage for the state of Nevada.
Purpose:
This PLSS coverage is intended to be used as a supplemental index layer to assist in referencing geographic locations within the state of Nevada.
Supplemental_Information:
This layer was developed by the US Bureau of Mines (USBM), Western Field Operations Center, through digitizing and joining all 100k BLM surface management maps of Nevada in 1988-1990. The original publication for which the data were created was by Crandell, W.D. and M.M. Hamilton, 'Availability of Federally Owned Minerals for Exploration and Development in Western States: Nevada, 1985'; USBM Special Publication, 1990, 54 pp. The data were used by the USBM to create mine claim density maps. USGS publications OFR99-540 utilized the data in creating a specific mine claim density map of Nevada with 1996 claim data.

Process_Description:
The BLM mining claim data from ALMRS/LR2000 were processed and joined to the PLSS, using ArcEdit software, by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and later by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The PLSS and Mine Claim data were acquired by the BLM in June 1999, and re-projected to UTM Zone 11 Meters NAD27. A copy of the data was renamed plss100k, the mining claim fields were dropped. The BLM has retained a version of the original data, named mineclaim96.
Process_Date: March 14, 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The coverage was re-projected to NAD83 in compliance with WO IM-2002-066. Several variations of township and range attributes were also added to aid in joining to information queried from LR2000 and other databases.
