The National Integrated Land System's (NILS) GeoCommunicator provides a Web Mapping Application and Map Service showing Rights-of-ways (ROW) issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This data is part of the National Integrated Land Systemt (NILS). The ROWs in NILS have been converted from the BLM's Legacy Rehost (LR2000) system where the original case records are electronically maintained. A ROW grant is an authorization to use a specific piece of public land for specific facilities for a specific period of time. ROW are issued for powerlines, telephone lines, pipelines, power and communication facilities, solar and wind energy, railroads, roads, etc.
The purpose of this layer is to provide a multi-purpose nationwide dataset of Rights-of-way on federal lands. Not all ROW cases are displayed on GeoCommunicator.
Currently the vast majority of the ROWs granted are authorized by Title V of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1761-1771) and the Mineral Leasing Act (Section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended , 43 U.S.C. 185). For the NILS GeoCommunicator interactive mapping application go to http://www.geocommunicator.gov. For the map image services from www.geocommunicator.gov use BLM_Other Lease_wms .
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.

Description of case verification issues
Indicates if LR2000 is deleted
Date LR2000 was deleted
Is the case geometry built from PLSS Alternate Source or both
The geometry is created automatically using the land descriptions on the case record in the BLM LR2000 system. If not all the geometry can be created for the case the partial geometry flay is set to 'Y' for yes there is only a partial geometry for the case. If the geometry was created in full the flag is set to 'N' for no partial geometry.
Indicates if the Legal Description is missing
Boolean indicating if a case is nominally located. Populated on the 'terminating' record only. "Y" = LD is nominal; "N"/blank/NULL = LD is exact.
