Abstract

Using BLM's GeoCommunicator for Planning and Land Management
Track: Federal Systems Implementation
Author(s): Leslie Cone

This presentation will include a demonstration of the National Integrated Land System (NILS) GeoCommunicator website (www.geocommunicator.gov), which shows cadastral survey and land management information and data from NILS. NILS GeoCommunicator is used by federal, state and local agencies to learn more about federal leasing activities, mineral rights, oil and gas exploration, rights of ways, lease sale parcels, pastures, allotments, etc. that occur within their jurisdictions. The website provides for the distribution and streaming of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), other survey-based data, and federal surface management agency boundaries, all of which can be used as a basis to improve mapping accuracy. By being able to accurately map and display land data, the BLM is able to more effectively manage lands and ultimately be better land stewards.
