Description:
Abstract:
This ESRI shapefile contains polygons showing the areas administered by various U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) District Offices in Great Basin States.
Purpose:
For geothermal exploration. Since the BLM District Office is the lead for permitting geothermal leasing on Federal Lands, this shapefile was assembled to help geothermal explorationists determine where to direct their efforts.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
1) Shapefiles of BLM District Offices within the Great Basin were downloaded from BLM web sites. 2) These shapefiles were reprojected to Lambert Conformable Conic projection. 3) The shapefiles were then examined for redundancy and overlap; redundant records were removed. 4) The shapefiles were then combined together using the Union geoprocessing feature, and attributes were condensed into a minimum number of fields.
