Series 23905

A separate agency history is available.

DESCRIPTION: The mining maps included here are plat or survey maps identifying the various claims of specific individuals or corporations. Most of these maps were recorded in the 1950s, suggesting that these are maps of uranium claims. This series also contains a 1918 map of San Juan County mining districts and two maps for claims located in 1912 and 1916. A few additional maps are dated 1960-1982.

ARRANGEMENT: The maps are arranged in alphabetical order based on the name of the individual or corporation who owned the claims.

RELATED RECORDS: MINING RECORDS INDEX (LOCATORS), series 23584, or MINING RECORDS INDEX (LOCATIONS), series 23583, would provide reference to location notices for these claims. Location notices or other documents relating to these claims could be recorded in OFFICIAL RECORDS, series 6682, in MINING LOCATION NOTICES (LODE CLAIMS), series 24001, or possibly other San Juan County record series.

FINDING AIDS: An index, which is repeated at both the beginning and end of this film, identifies the maps included by the name of the individual or corporation who owned the claims. The index indicates when the claims were located, surveyed and recorded, and also identifies claim names.

PROCESSING NOTE: Mining maps for San Juan County were microfilmed by San Juan County in October 2001 and processed by Rosemary Cundiff in January 2002.
