INTRODUCTION

This report presents data, including latitude and longitude, for aggregate sites in New Mexico that

were believed to be active in the period 1997-1999. The data are presented in paper form in Part A of

this report and as Microsoft Excel 97 and Data Interchange Format (DIF) files in Part B. The work

was undertaken as part of the effort to update information for the National Atlas. This compilation

includes data from: the files of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); company contacts; the New Mexico

Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Bureau of Mine Inspection, and the Mining &

Minerals Division of the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (Hatton

and others, 1998); the Bureau of Land Management Information; and direct communications with some

of the aggregate operators. Additional information on most of the sites is available in Hatton and others

(1998).

Data included in this compilation include the following:

Company Name

County

Operator

Decimal Latitude and Longitude

Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) ID

Township, Range, Section

Quadrangle Name (1:24K)

Comments

Commodity/Material (crushed stone table only)

Mineral Estate Status (Federal, State, or Private)

The aggregate sites are separated into crushed stone operations (table 1) and sand and gravel

operations (table 2). For many sites, conflicting data were available from 2 or more sources; the data

shown in the tables are based on the best judgement of the compiler, given the available information.

Latitudes and longitudes were commonly determined using several tools: 1:24,000 scale topographic

maps; township, range, and section information; and driving directions. Approximately 35 locations

were checked onsite using a GPS system with 15 m resolution. Aggregate operations known to be

intermittent producers or to be “temporarily” closed are included at the end of each table.
