The map from the EPA AUM report was imported into Google Earth Pro as an image overlay and then manipulated within Google Earth Pro. The image below is a screenshot using the measuring tool in Google Earth Pro.

Distance from Round Rock to Abandoned Uranium mine is approximately 10 mines. It appears that there are numerous drainages leading from the abandoned mine to the Round Rock community. You can investigate this using the Elevation Profile tool in Google Earth Pro as illustrated below.

Google My Maps

Data from sources such as the EPA EnviroMapper can be exported as a CSV (spreadsheet file) like the one above and imported to Google My Maps. The approximate locations of Abandoned Uranium Mines was created by using a Google Earth Pro image overlay from the EPA AUM report above, outlining the area on the image with a polygon, saving the polygon as a KML file and importing it into My Maps. Note: The AUM locations in the My Maps below are for illustration purposes only, for more complete information see the image from the EPA database above.

You can add your own layers to the Google My Maps for Asset Mapping, community engagement, etc. If you are interested in learning how to use Google My Maps you can find links to the Indigenous Mapping Workshop at the bottom of this page.
