- Abstract This data was collected by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in New
Mexico at both the New Mexico State Office and at the various field offices. This
dataset is meant to depict the surface owner or manager of the land parcels. In the
vast majority of land parcels, they will be one and the same. However, there are
instances where the owner and manager of the land surface are not the same. When
this occurs, the manager of the land is usually indicated. BLM's Master Title Plats
are the official land records of the federal government and serve as the primary
data source for depiction of all federal lands. Information from State of New Mexico
is the primary source for the depiction of all state lands. Auxilliary source are
referenced, as well, for the depiction of all lands. Collection of this dataset
began in the 1980's using the BLM's ADS software to digitize information at the
1:24,000 scale. In the mid to late 1990's the data was converted from ADS to ArcInfo
software and merged into tiles of one degree of longitude by one half degree of
latitude. These tiles were regularly updated. The tiles were merged into a statewide
coverage. The source geodatabase for this shapefile was created by loading the
merged ArcInfo coverage into a personal geodatabase. The geodatabase data were
snapped to a more accurate GCDB derived land network, where available. In areas
where GCDB was not available the data were snapped to digitized PLSS. In 2006, the
personal geodatabase was loaded into an enterprise geodatabase (SDE). This shapefile
has been created by exporting the feature class from SDE.
- Purpose To provide a current delineation of the surface ownership and/or surface
management in the state of New Mexico.
- Supplemental Information A published revision of the Department Manual’s Part 305: Departmental Science
Effects, Chapter 3: Integrity of Scientific and Scholarly Activities (305 DM 3),
effective December 16, 2014, is available online at
http://elips.doi.gov/ELIPS/DocView.aspx?id=4056. Scholarly information considered in
Departmental decision making must be robust, of the highest quality, and the result
of as rigorous scientific and scholarly processes as can be achieved. Most
importantly, it must be trustworthy. This policy helps us to achieve that standard
(http://www.doi.gov/scientificintegrity/index.cfm). Each state office has a Data
Steward or Contact Person for this data. Please contact the specific state office
for additional information on their state dataset.

- Logical Consistency Report Original data is in ESRI geodatabase format (SDE). The data was built to check for
topological errors and verified that there were none. Also, data was verified that no
label errors existed.
- Completeness Report The data is considered to be a complete picture of the surface ownership and / or
surface management of all lands in the state of New Mexico. Every effort is made to
reference official, federal land records and information from State of New Mexico land
management agencies to depict federal and state lands. No effort is made to track
private land interests, unless they return to federal or state ownership.
