About this source

BLM oil & gas leases and Public Land Survey System (PLSS) boundaries. Search federal leases and resolve township/range/section legal descriptions. CRITICAL USAGE RULES: 1. No authentication required. 2. searchLeases() finds authorized BLM oil & gas lease cases (no operator/county field). 3. getTownshipSection() gets PLSS at a point. 4. searchByLegalDescription() finds sections by T/R/S. 5. getSectionGeometry() resolves one section by T/R/S+state or { plssid, section }. 6. getSectionGeometries() resolves 2-100 sections once, in order, with bounded concurrency and per-item matched/not-found/error status.

Caveats

  • ⚠ Lease geometry is derived from MLRS legal land descriptions and may be absent when a case cannot be geocoded.

› Methods (7)

Technical detail for developers: parameters, pagination, units, and freshness per method.

    • ⚠ Returns null when the section is not found.

    Texas does not use PLSS; use rrc.searchGisSurveys for Texas land grids.

  • getSectionGeometries

    read

    Resolve 1-100 BLM PLSS section boundaries in one bounded, deduplicated batch.
