BLM Natl MLRS Land Use Authorization- Leases-Permits-Easements

Description

This dataset contains land use authorization leases, permits and easement cases derived from Legal Land Descriptions (LLD) contained in the US Bureau of Land Management's, BLM, Mineral and Land Record System(MLRS) and geocoded (mapped) using the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) derived from the most accurate survey data available through BLM Cadastral Survey workforce. The minimum data entry requirement for legal description for linear authorizations is to the nearest 40 acre aliquot level (e.g.,NENW). Legal descriptions for non-linear authorizations are as described on the authorizing document. Geospatial representations might be missing for some cases that can not be geocoded using the MLRS algorithm. This data set contains cases with the dispositions of 'Authorized', 'Pending','Closed', and 'Interim'.

Each case is given a data quality score based on how well it mapped. These can be lumped into seven groups to provide a simplified way to understand the scores. 
  • Group 1: Direct PLSS Match. Scores “0”, “1”, “2”, “3” should all have a match to the PLSS data. There are slight differences, but the primary expectation is that these match the PLSS. 
  • Group 2: Calculated PLSS Match. Scores “4”, “4.1”, “5”, “6”, “7” and “8” were generated through a process of creating the geometry that is not a direct capture from the PLSS. They represent a best guess based on the underlining PLSS 
  • Group 3 – Mapped to Section. Score of “8.1”, “8.2”, “8.3”, “9” and “10” are mapped to the Section for various reasons (refer to log information in data quality field). 
  • Group 4- Combination of mapped and unmapped areas. Score of 15 represents a case that has some portions that would map and others that do not. 
  • Group 5 – No NLSDB Geometry, Only Attributes. Scores “11”, “12”, “20”, “21” and “22” do not have a match to the PLSS and no geometry is in the NLSDB, and only attributes exist in the data. 
  • Group 6 – Mapped to County. Scores of “25” map to the County. 
  • Group 7 – Improved Geometry. Scores of “100” are cases that have had their geometry edited by BLM staff using ArcGIS Pro or MLRS bulk upload tool.
