The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for cadastral survey, land and mineral use authorization, conveyances, and resource management of the public lands. In support of the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, the BLM was given the lead by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB Circular A-16) for Public Land Conveyance, Federal Land Ownership Status, and Cadastral Survey.

Because the BLM has a backlog of exchange proposals, we have found that the most efficient procedure in this Resource Area has been to work instead through a third-party. This party goes into the real estate market to secure private lands which can be exchanged with the BLM. These lands are identified in conjunction with the BLM's planning process, to maximize access, consolidate public holdings and enhance management of sensitive resources.

The Horsetown Clear Creek preserve (an agreement is currently in effect with this preserve to close hunting in the area). Public lands are no longer open to homesteading. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 repealed the homestead laws in all states except Alaska which was closed to homesteading in 1986. Many parcels of public land are, however, available for acquisition within the Redding Field Office.

BLM does not sell land outright. Land is exchanged at fair market value, not acre for acre. BLM tends to use a third party organization to do large land exchanges (it costs the same whether a quarter of an acre is exchanged or a quarter of a million acres is exchanged). If you are interested in a particular piece of land please write a letter to our office and give the township, range and section of the land, or your best description of the land.

The BLM is an agency in the Department of the Interior, in the U.S. Government. The BLM manages 264 million acres of surface acres of public lands located primarily in the 12 Western States, including Alaska. The agency manages an additional 300 million acres of below ground mineral estate located throughout the country.

Land records refer to those record series that may involve real estate. These include documents traditionally recorded in Deeds Books and Plat Cabinets, such as Deeds, Deed of Trust, Authorities to Cancel, Plats, Name Change Orders, and many other documents. The Land Records Division also dockets and indexes judgments and files certain Uniform Commercial Code transactions that are a lien on real estate.

It is the individual unit's responsibility to ensure that you have a legal right to use all software installed on your machines. For further detail on this subject, please refer to our Software Management document.

You may obtain microfilm copies of land and mineral patents from any BLM State Office Information Center at a cost of $1.10 per page. In addition, some land patent records are available for selected states on the BLM's Web site at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/.

Through its land-use planning process, the BLM identifies parcels of land for potential sale that fall into one of the following categories: land where disposal will serve important public objectives, such as community expansion and economic development. The growing cities and towns of the West are spreading closer or even next to once-remote BLM-managed public lands. As a result, the public in general - and Westerners in particular - appreciate the open space guaranteed by BLM.

This layer is based on Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB) coordinate data. The locations of Public Land Survey System (PLSS) corners, as represented in geographic coordinate pairs, were derived from a variety of source documents, which include U.S. General Land Office and BLM survey plats/notes, as well as survey data obtained from other U.S. Government agencies, private sector survey firms, and local governments.

Yes, land records are available for public inspection from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Land records begin in 1795 when Warren County was still considered part of Hamilton County, Ohio. We have Deeds from 1799-1832 searchable by Grantee to Grantor or Grantor to Grantee. Other years are available but we have not finished abstracting or indexing these yet.

The Historical Society, like any state agency, must comply with the Idaho Public Records Law. The right to inspect and to receive a copy of public records at all reasonable times is absolute unless the record is exempt from disclosure by laws. In addition, the public agency is required to extend reasonable comfort and facility to the individual requesting public records.

per animal unit month (1999) Grazing fees are determined using the formula in the Grazing Regulations (43 CFR 4130.8-1). The fee is effective from March 1 through the end of the following February.

It is the government agency we, as taxpayers, designate to oversee areas like this. They are The Bureau of Land Management. It is their job to see that the land is preserved. It is in their best interest that Glamis stay open for us to ride. They listen to us through the TRT to see how we want our fees spent. To fully explain the mission of the BLM and TRT here is not practical, but you can go to their web sites to learn more.

Mineral Accretion, or the Biorock? process, is a new method that uses low voltage direct current electricity to grow solid limestone rock structures in the sea and accelerate the growth of corals providing homes for reef fish and protecting the shoreline. The electrical current causes minerals that are naturally dissolved in seawater to precipitate and adhere to a metal structure. The result is a composite of limestone and brucite with mechanical strength similar to concrete.

Lands and Mineral use records may occurs on lands where the surface is nonfederal but the subsurface minerals are owned by the federal government. This is called split estate lands. The split estate lands are not shown on the Surface Management Agency layer. This is especially true for lease able minerals such as Oil and Gas and coal. It could also be that the Surface Management Agency layer is incorrect.

You may obtain microfilm copies of land and mineral patents from the BLM Oregon/Washington State Office Information Center at a cost of $1.10 per page. In addition, some land patent records are available for selected states on the BLM's Web site (http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/).
