About this source
Bureau of Indian Affairs land-records and tribal-boundary data (biamaps.geoplatform.gov ArcGIS). No auth. Tract-level mineral & surface ownership on tribal lands (249K rows: state, land area, resource code, Trust/Restricted ownership, acres) plus reservation extent polygons (AIAN National LAR), tribal statistical areas, and the 12 BIA regional boundaries. Scope is land-records/ownership + tribal boundaries — a complement to BLM/BOEM, NOT oil/gas wells, leases, or production (the NIOGEMS well/lease/production layers are not publicly exposed). format:'geojson' on the boundary methods draws polygons for patchops_addMapLayer.
