Description:

Shapefile Format –This Federal Mineral Estate (Subsurface) dataset is a result of combining data sets that were collected at each BLM Colorado Field Office and using other source material of various ventages from the BLM Colorado State Office. In most cases the data was referenced from BLM's 100K Sub-Surface Published Maps (the most recent publications). In other cases data the source data was compiled to 7.5 minute USGS Quads and mosaic together to create a seamless field office layer. BLM State Office GIS Staff obtained these datasets and created a statewide mosaic. In cases where data was out dated or missing in the final mosaic, BLM Colorado GIS Staff filled in the gaps and updated the data layer by heads up digitizing using the most recent scanned and geo-refernced digital 100K Surface/Sub-Surface in a GIS system. Once created, this dataset has been continually updated.To illustrate Federal Mineral Estate for the State of Colorado in a GIS format.A published revision of the Department Manuals Part 305: Departmental Science Effects, Chapter 3: Integrity of Scientific and Scholarly Activities (305 DM 3), effective December 16, 2014, is available online at http://elips.doi.gov/ELIPS/DocView.aspx?id=4056. Scholarly information considered in Departmental decision making must be robust, of the highest quality, and the result of as rigorous scientific and scholarly processes as can be achieved. Most importantly, it must be trustworthy. This policy helps us to achieve that standard (http://www.doi.gov/scientificintegrity/index.cfm)Federal Mineral Estate
