Dept Of Natural Resources Map

The Ak Department of Natural Resources has an online "Land Status" map you can visit to see how this mine relates to all the land around it. The DNR map is too large and complex for us to duplicate on this web site.  Here is a link to it, but before you follow the link below, please read the instructions on the next paragraph.  DNR map library website: 

 To view the correct map, select the search options “Topic” and in the drop down box choose “Land Status” then click "Start Search". A list of maps will pop up. Scroll down till you see: "Land status 1119" in the left column. Click on the “View PDF” link. It is a 16 meg file, (even thought it says it is about 6.5 meg), so it may take a couple of minutes to download. When it is done downloading you will see a complex map of the northern section of the state. Use the zoom function in the tool bar to expand the Nome area on the Alaska Peninsula.

To locate the patented claim on this map, look just north of Nome and find "Mary’s Igloo". Keeping Mary's Igloo in the center of your screen, zoom your way up to 200%. To the right of “Mary’s Igloo” is a block with the number “4” & above it is a block #3 & then #2. zoom in on block #2. The gray area is privately owned land, (our Coffee Creek mine), the yellow dot identifies a native allotment, The red & blue cross hatch area is Native & State requested. The blue diagonal area is federal land that is state selected but not awarded. The all blue areas are state land. Please note: This map shows approximate boundaries. It is too general in nature to rely on for determining actual claim boundaries. Use the accurately surveyed claim maps for identifying claim boundaries.
