The alphabetically-arranged collection is arranged in the following manner: Arizona Mines, California Mines, California Land Subdivisions, Canada and Mexico Mines, and Montana, Nevada, and New Mexico Mines; Miscellaneous Mining Charts, Surveys, and Engineering Drawings; Personal Photographs; and Ephemera. Within each box, the folders are arranged alphabetically by county (or by neighborhood/area in the case of the California Land Subdivision folders). Individual mining companies, mining claims, subdivisions, and neighborhoods are listed on the folders but are not listed in finding aid unless there are multiple folders for a specific county. Several folders contain state maps or miscellaneous surveys and engineering drawings that are not particular to specific counties; these folders are labeled by state and are placed after the specific county folders.
