How Do I Avoid Claim Jumping?, Seeking the best techniques for prospecting "open" land Options

[English]

Hi everybody.
HELP!
What's the easiest and most accurate way to view or to plot active mining claims? My goal is to preview claims from a birds-eye-view on a map so that while I'm prospecting I will not trespass on mineral rights. Geocommunicator.com is not accurate, title master platts don't show un-patented claims and LR2000 provides serial numbers that when entered into Geocommunicator.com gives all coordinates (each corner of the claim) in "decimal" format (not degree, minutes and seconds). The area I'm prospecting shows a claim density of 50 - 100 claims and I KNOW there has to be an easier way to identify/view claim bounderies without me:
1) Converting decimal coordinated to degrees, minutes and seconds (for EACH corner of EACH claim).
2) Ploting those coordinates on a topographical map.
In other words...
What's the best technique for prospecting while at the same time avoid trespassing?
THANKS!

Be careful with the Surface and or Mineral maps cause they can be outdated, inaccurate and confusing. BLM is discontinuing them likely for that reason but the surface only maps will still be available. Club Members have good follow up information in the protected forums.

Where did you see they are discontinuing them? I could see them going online, but they don't have Avenza released for Colorado yet.

Last time Dave was at the BLM office they said they were discontinuing the mineral maps and they were already out of some of the ones we wanted. They are still selling the ones they have printed but say they they are phasing them out.
