Here's probably a newbie question, but is there a maximum size a claim can be for staking/marking?


Lode claim maximum is 1,500 feet long and 600 feet wide (20.66 acres)
Placer claim 20 acres per person. Up to 8 people can sign on to one 160 acre placer claim.

Be careful with the Surface and or Mineral maps cause they can be outdated, inaccurate and confusing.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.

I'm confused on how a map can be out dated. I thought the mrts system was implemented after 1872 and has remain unchanged?
What exactly is not accurate. I just bought these two maps and haven't written on them yet or cut them.


Typically, maps come out several months after they are printed, which may be once a year, or several years.

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.

As an ex placer claim owner and hubs has several placer claims in Mesa/Montrose Counties: Good luck on keeping people off of claims even with all the claim markers in the world put down. We have worked with BLM to resolve this issue and its not been pleasant for those claim jumping. One fella told us he had been panning this area for 20 years and no claim is going to stop him from panning on anything he wants to get gold.

Short of having someone sit on the claim as in security guards, there is only legal reprocussions if you can take a picture of them commiting the crime. Then you have to figure out how much in gold you lost to a judge. Burden of proof is on the claim owner. Best of luck on keeping jumpers off your claims.

I think this post is a bit old but have you guys seen the website thediggings.com ? it has up to date claim maps as well as closed claims. Its a great site that I think is pretty accurate

sign0016.gif Welcome to the CP forums Adam! That info can't be that accurate as a claim can be filed at any point of the day making those maps inaccurate. The only way to tell is by going to that office to check that day you are heading to that area. Never trust any maps out there that claim they have updated info.
