What is NILS?
The National Integrated Land System (NILS) is a joint project between the BLM and the USDA Forest Service in partnership with the states, counties, and private industry to provide business solutions for the management of cadastral records and land parcel information in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. The goal of NILS is to provide a process to collect, maintain, and store parcel-based land and survey information that meets the common, shared business needs of land title and land resource management. NILS consists of four modules: Survey Management, Measurement Management, Parcel Management, and GeoCommunicator. GeoCommunicator is the publication web site for data from the NILS system.
