Live Claims Map — Oregon Gold Country

Every not-closed federal mining claim on record with the BLM across five Oregon gold counties — Baker, Grant, Jackson, Josephine and Union — pulled straight from the government’s Mineral & Land Records System and drawn on real ground. Zoom out and the map spans the United States on the USGS National Map; zoom out again and the whole planet is under your thumb on the world globe. Claims appear where we carry the record — five counties today, more as the Atlas grows.

Prototype — reference data only. Claim boundaries here come from BLM records, are not survey-accurate, and say nothing about access or land status. Never stake, dig, or make decisions from this map alone.

Where this goes

Five counties today. The whole map tomorrow.

Every district

The same pipeline that pulled these five Oregon counties pulls every county in every public-land state — refreshed on schedule, straight from the federal record.

Layers that matter

Historic mines, mineral occurrences, land status, PLSS sections — the layers a prospector actually needs, on one map.

Offline in the field

The Gold Monster app carries this map into no-signal country — with your GPS position and waypoints on top of it.
