The National Integrated Land System's (NILS) GeoCommunicator provides a Web Mapping Application and Map Service providing a spatial layer showing federal pending, authorized, and closed geothermal leases and agreements (units, participating areas, communitzation storage, development contract, etc), and geothermal known leasing areas.. The leases and agreements are issued by the Bureau of Land Management on lands where the federal government owns the mineral estate for the purpose of exploration and development of geothermal resources. The geothermal leases and agreements in NILS have been converted from the BLM's Legacy Rehost (LR2000) system where the original case records are electronically maintained.
The purpose of this layer is to provide a multi-purpose nationwide dataset of geothermal lease and agreement parcels on federal lands that can be used in a GIS environment. The NILS GeoCommunicator web site is located at http://www.geocommunicator.gov
Mineral leasing can occur on federal lands or on non-federal lands where the federal government owns rights to the mineral estate.
Data is 2-4 weeks behind published in LR2000. For the latest case record information see the Legacy Rehost (LR2000) reporting application http://www.blm.gov/lr2000
The graphical display of land and mineral parcels and mining claims are NOT a substitute for the official BLM or county land and mineral records. Not all land and mineral records are displayed in this system. There could be land and mineral records and mining claims that occur on the lands but are not displayed on the map you are viewing. Please refer to the LR2000 (http://www.blm.gov/lr2000) system for a complete list of land and mineral records. The parcels can be used for information, mapping, graphics, and planning purposes only. No warranty, including accuracy, relevancy, timeliness, or completeness of the records, is made by the BLM for use of the data for purposes not intended by BLM. Any hardcopies utilizing these data sets shall clearly indicate their source. If the user has modified the data in any way they are obligated to describe the types of modifications they have performed in the metadata. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent these data sets, nor to imply that changes they made were approved by the Bureau of Land Management.
