Land Status Database

The Land Status Database plots mineral concessions and concession applications for all of Central America and the Caribbean Basin along with national parks, forest reserves, reservations, national monuments, and other areas of restricted mineral entry.

Clicking on a concession  will call up associated information including concession holder, concession status (reconnaissance, exploration or exploitation; application or contract), contract date, expiration date, and source of information.

The low resolution image shown below portrays the extent of the Land Status Database.

2) all concessions due to expire during a given year, or

3) land status for a specific district or country.

Land Status information can be plotted at any scale on a variety of base maps including  Geology, Geography, and shaded relief).
