Federal records from BLM's Mineral & Land Records System, queried against the Census county boundary. Current to September 1, 2026. Federal cases only; private and state land are not represented. A lease or right-of-way that crosses a county line is counted in each county it touches.
2 federal geothermal leases on 9,664 acres.
2 authorized leases cover 9,664 acres of federal ground in Cassia County. 2 are flagged non-producing, which means that acreage is being held rather than developed.
2 new leases on 9,664 acres were authorized in the last twelve months. Somebody is assembling a position here right now, and the private and state inholdings around that federal acreage just became the most interesting tracts in the county.
15 leases on 25,218 acres have been closed out here. That cuts both ways: the resource drew interest, and prior holders let it go rather than develop it. The reason is usually resource, access, or economics, and it is knowable before you commit capital.
93 transmission and power line rights-of-way cross federal ground here.
384 authorized right-of-ways and land use authorizations touch federal land in Cassia County. 30 applications are pending.
Of those, 37 fiber optic or communication grants, 93 transmission, distribution, or energy-facility grants, 15 oil and gas facility grants. The named holders are the companies spending money on linear infrastructure in this county, and the federal segment is usually the shorter part of their route. The private miles in between are the work.

1,485 open mining claims compete for the same ground.
Mining claims don't stop a geothermal or right-of-way project, but they compete for surface, complicate siting and access, and each claimant is a party you have to deal with. 899 are active, 586 newly filed. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.
Oil & gasNo authorized federal oil and gas leases, but 245 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before.
The private half of Cassia County isn't in any database.
Everything above is what the federal government controls. It does not show who owns a severed mineral or geothermal estate on private ground, whether that title is clean, what liens sit against it, or which families you'll be negotiating with. That lives in the Cassia County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.
