As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has basic responsibilities for water, fish, wildlife, mineral, land, park, and recreational resources. Indian and Territorial affairs are other major concerns of this department of natural resources.

The Department works to assure the wisest choice in managing all our resources so that each shall make its full contribution to a better United States now and in the future.

MINERAL SURVEY PROCEDURES GUIDE

1980

This Mineral Survey Procedures Guide does not and is not intended to supersede the Bureau Manual or appropriate Federal, State, or Mining District law which is concerned with mineral surveys and mining claims. The Manual of Instructions for the Survey of the Public Lands of the United States is the official Bureau of Land Management document regarding mineral surveys, and any real or apparent contradictions with this Guide should be referred to the Manual for final assessment.
