How many BLM land records are hosted nation-wide?
The BLM has over two billion (yes, billion!) land records nation-wide? One of the most important services the BLM provides as caretaker of the nation’s land survey and mineral information records. These records originate with the founding of our nation. Congress created the General Land Office (GLO) in 1812 to handle the increasing land business from the rapid westward expansion. The GLO was given the responsibility to maintain land and mineral records.
