Abstract:
  Polygon outlines of abandoned hardrock mine sites inventoried during the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, Mine Waste Cleanup Bureau, Watershed Analysis of Abandoned Hardrock Mine Priority Sites. Site outlines were heads-up digitzed from georeferenced scans of 1:24,000 scale topographic maps using TNTmips. Attributes were compiled in DBASE. The polygon outlines and attributes were joined in ARC/INFO using the PA number of each site and the join key. Site attributes were provided by Dave Tuesday at Pioneer Technical Services, Butte MT.
