「全米の全鉱山」をLeafletで一挙に可視化！Mines.fyiを公開しました

MSHA（米国鉱山安全衛生局）のオープンデータを使って、全米にあるすべての鉱山をマッピングする「Mines.fyi」を作りました。Leafletで作成したこのビジュアライゼーションでは、各サイトの場所だけでなく、運営企業の情報や現場の詳細データまで網羅しています。

I'm glad it's those kinds of mines rather than the ones I first thought of.

This doesn't seem to be complete. It's missing the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, for example, which should be southeast of Carlsbad, NM. It's a underground salt (metal/non-metal) mine, and MSHA definitely regulates it

This seems to include cement works and other processing plants that have somewhat mine-like output but aren't actually extracting anything from the ground at that site.

I love the idea of a site like this existing but the expanding dots is a really bad way to visualize this.

I saw your title and my first thought was "Why are there landmines in the US?" lol.

TIL there's a mine within San Francisco city limits! https://mines.fyi/mine/0405261 (https://mines.fyi/mine/0405261)

(I guess technically a "surface mine" for "Construction Sand and Gravel".)

I don't know why, but when I read the title I assumed the map was about landmines.

No, these are the cool ones that take stuff out of the ground, not the ones that destroy everything above them

USGS MRDATA has a lot more mines. Their data is also freely available for download. I use their datasets and base maps for my personal GIS projects.

Is oil considered a mined mineral, or just shale oil?
