The Spatial Data Management System (SDMS) website provides access to on-line BLM Alaska land record documents, reports and GIS data. Database systems include: native, state and private land conveyance cases, master title plats, survey plats, as well as, leases, permits, federal mining claims, easements and more.

A growing selection of Alaska maps and GIS data are available for your public lands adventures and business. We have georeferenced PDF maps for download and use on mobile devices for recreation areas and subsistence hunting units. We are also creating Web Map applications featuring interactive maps with real time data layers. Check out the BLM Alaska’s Web Map Gallery. 

BLM’s Resource Management Plans (RMPs) form the basis for every action and approved use on the public lands. Planning emphasizes a collaborative environment in which local, state, and tribal governments, the public, user groups, and industry work with the BLM to identify appropriate multiple uses of the public lands.

Placer mining, long a mainstay of Alaska's gold mining industry, still operates today. In addition to gold, silver, zinc, and lead other minerals are also actively mined. BLM Alaska manages more than 5,000 Federal mining claims and 120 active mines and Mining Operation Plans on public lands. The majority of BLM's mineral material sites are for sand and gravel.

The BLM Alaska Fire Service provides wildland suppression services for Department of the Interior agencies, Alaska Native Corporation lands, and military withdrawn public land under an agreement with the U.S. Army-Alaska. It also leads the BLM Alaska’s statewide Fire and Aviation programs.

The Red Devil Mine is an abandoned cinnabar mine and mercury production facility, located on the Kuskokwim River in Southwest Alaska.  Mining occurred at the site from 1933 until 1971. During that time, mine operators conducted extensive underground and surface mining and disposed of mine tailings and ore processing wastes at the site. The abandoned mine is the subject of a number of major environmental restoration projects including a CERCLA investigation.
