Lands, Realty & Cadastral Survey
The BLM Lands, Realty and Cadastral Survey program facilitates commercial, recreational and conservation activities to ensure that the public lands are working landscapes managed for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations.
This mission encompasses public land transactions such as
purchases and acquisitions
,
sales and exchanges
, and
withdrawals
when they are in the public interest and are consistent with publicly approved
resource management plans
(RMPs). These
land tenure
activities aim to:
improve management of natural resources;
increase recreational opportunities and ensure public access to public lands;
preserve open space and traditional landscapes;
secure key property necessary to protect endangered species, promote biological diversity, and preserve wildlife habitat and migration corridors;
preserve archaeological, historical and paleontological resources; and
accomplish specific acquisitions authorized by Congress.
Leases, permits
and
right-of-way authorizations
(ROWs) support
energy development
,
film production
and other economic activities.
Cadastral survey
services establish official boundaries.
Land Records
document all activities and authorizations.
MLRS | Authorizations, Billing & Records
The Mineral & Land Records System (MLRS) now handles all land use authorizations and realty billing (including Alaska), land tenure, energy & minerals leasing, mining claims and more.
