Land, title & right-of-way services in Gooding County, Idaho
Gooding County has no active federal geothermal leases today, but 3 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before. 143 active right-of-ways cross federal land here, including 16 fiber or telecom grants and 35 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.
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.
Leased and released: 3 closed federal geothermal leases, none active.
3 leases on 1,699 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.
35 transmission and power line rights-of-way cross federal ground here.
143 authorized right-of-ways and land use authorizations touch federal land in Gooding County. 10 applications are pending.
Of those, 16 fiber optic or communication grants, 35 transmission, distribution, or energy-facility grants, 1 oil and gas facility grant. 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.

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