Land, title & right-of-way services in Eureka County, Nevada
Eureka County has 35 authorized federal geothermal leases covering 97,143 acres, 30 of them flagged as non-producing. 320 active right-of-ways cross federal land here, including 69 fiber or telecom grants and 53 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.
97,143 acres under federal geothermal lease, 30 leases held without production.
35 authorized leases cover 97,143 acres of federal ground in Eureka County. 30 are flagged non-producing, which means that acreage is being held rather than developed. BLM leaves the production flag blank on 5, so the record understates what is actually online.
8 new leases on 20,608 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.
40 leases on 65,772 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.
69 fiber and telecom rights-of-way lead the linear record here.
320 authorized right-of-ways and land use authorizations touch federal land in Eureka County, 6 of them issued in the last twelve months. 17 applications are pending.
Of those, 69 fiber optic or communication grants, 53 transmission, distribution, or energy-facility grants, 6 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.

27,933 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. 25,189 are active, 2,650 newly filed, 91 under review. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.
Oil & gas40 authorized federal oil and gas leases on 66,023 acres, 2 of them issued in the last twelve months. 2,779 more have been closed out. Where oil and gas leasing is active, the mineral estate is very often severed from the surface, and that is the title question that decides whether ground is leasable.
The private half of Eureka 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 Eureka County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.
