(Our Earth) Language Map with
Mine Sites and Known Ore Deposits. Ojibwe language place names and
operating mines, major exploration areas and known ore deposits.
Compiled by GLIFWC for the 1842, 1837, and the Upper Peninsula sections
of the 1836 ceded territories.
- Major Transportation Networks
with Mine Sites and
Known Ore Deposits Map.
Major transportation networks in the western Lake Superior region and
operating mines, major exploration areas (as of September 2011) and
known ore deposits. These roads, rail, and shipping networks could be
used to transport ore, concentrate, and chemicals used in the mineral
processing process.

Impact Analysis
- Using Mapping to Evaluate Impacts
of Proposed Mine Projects on Natural Resources in Areas of Cultural
Importance. This poster describes techniques for presenting tribal
concerns on the impacts of mining from a cultural perspective.
- Methods for Evaluating Indirect
Impacts to Wetlands. This poster describes a
method that can be used to assess the effects of changes in groundwater
hydrology to wetland functions and values.
- Methods for Visual Impact Analysis
and Potential Methods for Defining Areas of Potential Effect. This
poster describes ways to characterize visual impacts of mining as part
of a NEPA process and a Corps Section 106 process.
