Alaska (USA) Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Mineral Leasehold Locations

Order limiting mineral entry on state land to leasehold locations and prohibiting new mining claims. Unlike a mining claim, a leasehold location must be converted to a lease before mining is allowed. This dataset represents mineral leaseholds represented as lines.

This shape file characterizes the geographic representation of land parcels within the State of Alaska contained by the Leasehold Location category. It has been extracted from data sets used to produce the State status plats. This data set includes cases noted on the digital status plats up to one day prior to data extraction.

Each feature has an associated attribute record, including a Land Administration System (LAS) file-type and file-number which serves as an index to related LAS case-file information. Additional LAS case-file and customer information may be obtained at: http://www.dnr.state.ak.us/las/LASMenu.cfm.

Those requiring more information regarding State land records should contact the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Public Information Center directly.
