Active Minerals Leases

Polygon data set intended to delineate active minerals leases on New Mexico State Trust Lands. 

The minerals leases data set was built using semi-automated mapping procedures. Records pertaining to subsurface land parcels participating in minerals leases were extracted from the Land Information Management System (LIMS). These records were processed, using the State Land Office's Land Use Map Automation System (LUMAS), which copies NM State Trust Lands subsurface ownership data (based on the BLM's CADNSDI Version 2 PLSS data) and places the polygons into the parent Mineral Lease layer. The parent layer contains leases at the PLSS subdivision level. The subject data set was built by dissolving the parent data set on the full lease identifier (UNIQUEKEY) while simultaneously retaining certain attributes from the parent data.
At present, the polygons are copies of subsurface ownership data. Lease boundaries are known, however, considerable editing is needed for the polygons to represent the actual boundaries. Data will be updated as boundary modifications occur.
