Land, title & right-of-way services in Custer County, Idaho

Custer County has no federal geothermal leasing on record. 357 active right-of-ways cross federal land here, including 30 fiber or telecom grants and 32 transmission or power lines. We run title, leasing, and right-of-way acquisition on both sides of the federal line: the record above, and the private ground it's woven through.

No federal geothermal leasing on record here.

The federal layer is quiet. That can mean the resource isn't there, or that the ground is private and state and never shows up in BLM's record. The second case is common across the West, and it's where title work starts.

32 transmission and power line rights-of-way cross federal ground here.

357 authorized right-of-ways and land use authorizations touch federal land in Custer County, 2 of them issued in the last twelve months. 23 applications are pending.

Of those, 30 fiber optic or communication grants, 32 transmission, distribution, or energy-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.

3,007 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. 1,858 are active, 1,147 newly filed, 2 under review. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.

No authorized federal oil and gas leases, but 288 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before.

The private half of Custer 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 Custer County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.
