GeoCommunicator Module
GeoCommunicator contains many interactive mapping programs: Land and Mineral Use Records, Federal Land Stewardship, the Land Survey Information System, and Healthy Lands. | GeoCommunicator is a website (www.geocommunicator.gov) for cadastral survey and land management information and data from the National Integrated Land System. The website provides for the distribution of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), other survey-based data, and the federal surface management agency boundaries. Land and mineral use record information, mining claims, and conveyances from the BLM's LR2000 system can be accessed and mapped through geocommunicator. The systems are described below or on our Brochure of GeoCommunicator products. |

The Land and Mineral Use Records map viewer provides: - An easy-to-use viewer to map, search, locate, and view the BLM land and mineral use authorizations, oil and gas sales, rights-of-way, land/mineral title, withdrawals, classifications, range allotments, and mining claims from NILS including records from the BLM's LR2000 system.
- The map viewer provides a range of reference and base maps including topo maps, imagery, roads, counties, and more making it easy to locate and map parcel data.
- Users can link to the LR2000 reporting system to get a LR2000 serial register page report or a geographic report for detailed information on the case record or information about all the cases within a township.
- Users can link to the Range Authorization System (RAS) for allotment reports or to BLM state master title plats.
| View mining claims, leasing (oil, gas, coal, geothermal, minerals, etc), land and mineral title, rights-of-way, and much more! 
Land and Mineral Use Application How to Guide |
| Federal Land Stewardship is a display of the land boundaries delineating the surface management agency for federal lands in the U.S. This map layer is in all of the map viewers in GeoCommmunicator and provides agency contact information for the federal land management agencies. The surface management agency layer also provides BLM conservation areas, BLM National Monuments, BLM Wilderness Areas, State lands, and some state and regional parks. | |
| The Land Survey Information System contains the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) data in NAD83 for the United States from the BLM, the U.S. Forest Service, and other sources. The PLSS is a rectangular-based survey system based on meridians, townships, sections and subdivisions of sections. This data is used as the foundation for many survey-based land information systems. GeoCommunicator provides: The ability to select by state, county or individual township and download for free the PLSS data as GIS shape files. The PLSS data is a map layer in all map viewers to provide detail land descriptions for the display of parcel data.

Land Survey Information System Application How to Guide |
| Map and Data Services: Data Services:
Data Services include GeoRSS and web services for Finding and Deriving the land description (township, range, section, aliquot) for an area and for exporting township survey data (points, lines, and coordinates). Use the Find and Derive Land Descriptions web service on GeoCommunicator's map viewers or create your own interface using the GeoRSS service. Map Services:
GeoCommunicator provides map image and feature services for most of the layers that you see on GeoCommunicator. The map services can be streamed live to your local GIS on your desktop and combine with other local or internet data sets. We offer the feature services for some of the layers on GeoCommunicator. For more information on the map services read How to Use GeoCommunicator's Map Services . |
| GeoSpatial One-Stop
GeoCommunicator and other COTS products were leveraged to develop the initial GeoSpatial One-Stop Portal (Geodata.gov) for searching, accessing, and locating geospatial information and data. GeoCommunicator's portal functionality is no longer available because Geodata is now the official E-government portal for geospatial information and data. The NILS project will support the new GeoSpatial One-Stop Initiative and Portal project. |
