Is there any way to see what areas are claimed on a map? I've looked at addons for google earth that show claimed areas but it doesn't guarantee that it's accurate or up to date. If you go in to the BLM office for your state do they have a map you can view showing accurately where claims are?

No, the BLM doesn't map them, or provide maps of them. I once found a map that the claim owner had made. Those maps were in their corner stakes. I asked at the BLM office, because I assumed that the BLM had made them. They were surprised at what I had found.

I wish common sense was like the flu. Then, everyone would catch it......

I guess the best way to know if a place is claimed or not is to just go to where you want to try and look for signs.. The thing is I've seen some places in my area that had claim signs and recently I drove past where it was posted before and it's not anymore. So either somebody vandalized their claim and took down the signs or they abandoned it or something..

You should start with the LR2000 on the BLM site. Use it to find the areas you are interested in. Then, look at active claims. You can add up all the claims in a given "section" and subtract that from 640. 640 acres to a section, (1mile by 1 mile). That will give you an idea if any land at all is available. You will need a map which shows township, range, and section boundaries. You also will need to know the meridian that you are looking at. Also, you need to look at the claim ownership list very closely. I have found sections that ended up with well over 640 acres claimed up, and found out that when there are multiple owners listed for a claim, the BLM will list it once for every owner. The best thing you can do, is go to your local BLM office, get the township, range, and section map you need for your area, and have a nice long conversation about how to use the LR2000. Good luck.

Try this first because the BLM can be pretty Useless most of the time. Navigating the LR2000 page... instructions

I build my own Cuz yours isn't good enough

I've got the overlay for google earth but is there a way to plug in the section # before you hit run report to narrow it down more?

I've been using the LR2000 system for planning an upcoming trip, and although
it can certainly provide the needed data, it's a PITA when you are looking at many
areas in general, and just want to be sure you're not poaching someone's claim.

Best solution I've found is using the Google Earth program, and then adding
Mine Cache software. Mine Cache has really improved, and you can select either
OPEN or CLOSED mines, or you can view all mines in the area. You won't get
exact dimensions, but you will get boundaries showing the edges of claims.
Mine Cache accesses the BLM data directly, so it includes all the data you
would find via the LR2000 system, but in this case the results are displayed
on the map itself.

For closed claims, once you click on the mines name you get a pop-up with
all the pertinent data, including a link that you can use that allows Mine Cache
to access and then provide the info direct from the LR2000. Could not be any easier.

Mine Cache does cost about $30.00 per year, but with what it provides I can certainly
see the value and time savings for nugget shooters, etc. researching areas they can
access.

report on that claimYeah I've tried that one for free (7 day trial period). Wasn't sure how accurate it was so I did the LR2000 and it spits out the same info. I figured out that there's so many claims in my area that both of them aren't of much use to me because every place that is claim able is claimed. I would suggest using mine cache to anyone out there that doesn't feel like taking the time to punch in a bunch of numbers to see what's claimed or not claimed.

Find the thread in here by Terry C. and he has instructions on how to use LR2000. Also there is a site called Mine Cache that has all the claims and works with google earth . It is a free trial and then I believe $29 a year after that. It wasn't very good when I tried it when it was new but the designer said he has fixed and improved it. I don't know for sure as I have claims and don't need to find any so it is a crap shoot.

Good Luck!
