Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 09:15 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 21, 2020 at 12:00 AM
This zip file contains georeferenced tiff images of mineral potential maps and their associated metadata. These images are duplicates of the images found in the geodatabases/raster mosaic datasets. Descriptive information about the images is listed in the All_georef_images_descriptive_information_table.csv file. The georeferenced images were clipped to the extent of the map and all explanatory text, gathered from map explanations or report text was imported into the All_georef_images_descriptive_information_table.csv file. The descriptive data contains the figure caption from the original map, online linkage to the source report when available, source references, and information on the assessed commodities according to the legal definition of mineral resources—metallic, non-metallic, leasable non-fuel, leasable fuel, geothermal, paleontological, and saleable.
