The Recorder's Office can only accept maps in black and white. Colored maps may not be accepted and will result in your location certificate being voided. Color effects the legibility of the recorded documents in the public record. Please use guidelines below to help provide a legible, recordable map.

  • Utilize Alaska Mapper
  • Topo Map is the preferred base map to locate the area
  • Print the map in black and white insuring a one-inch margin for recording stickers

Please contact PIC with Mining and Alaska Mapper questions.
