The BLM is the nation's largest repository for original documents and homesteading deeds detailing the history and development of the West. As an organization, we're responsible for guarding that history and maintaining its legacy.
Cadastral and geological positions deal with the physical lands themselves. Cadastral surveys create, mark, define, retrace or reestablish the boundaries and subdivisions of the public lands of the United States. They're based upon law - cadastral surveys cannot change because of fluctuating conditions or standards. All of the land that is now, or was once, part of the public domain of the United States is maintained by our organization's land surveyors, land survey technicians and land survey aids. Your work in this field could affect policy, development, energy use, disposal, military coordination, realty and more.
Our geological science professionals, like geologists and cartographers, use changing technologies to manage and record the mineral resources found on public land - moderating the effects of mining on wildlife vegetation, archeological resources and recreational opportunities.
