Each mining claim is represented as an individual region, identified by the casefile serial number which can be linked to background data via the ALIS (Alaska Land Information System). Mining claim boundaries were identified in location notices from the original casefiles. They were plotted on maps based on rough sketches, claimant maps or physical descriptions. This dataset was developed as part of a statewide effort to track mining claims managed by the federal government. This dataset also tracks the status of federal mining claims: Active, Closed, Undigitized, Historical.
