The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources' interactive map of New Mexico provides a large amount of information on the state's geology and natural resources, including:

  • Surface and bedrock geology at several scales
  • Mineral resources, particularly asbestos and uranium
  • Oil & gas resources
  • Coal mine locations
  • Water quality and groundwater levels
  • Hot springs and wells

The map allows users to select multiple layers that can be overlain on each other, including non-geoscientific layers such as counties and congressional districts. By doing this, users can see how different features are related and relevant to their community. Links are available to further information, and the data can be downloaded for further use and analysis.
