248 active federal leases and rights-of-way, including 71 for power and transmission and 67 for roads. We take on title, leasing and right-of-way work on both sides of the federal line: this record, and the private ground it runs through.
From the county profile, computed October 8, 2026. Federal cases only: private and state land are not in this record, and a case that crosses a county line counts in each county it touches.
The free Site check, opened on this county: who manages the land, how many private owners hold it and how much of it the largest hold, from the public record in seconds.

From BLM's public record, by holder. Company and agency names as BLM records them; a holder who is a private person is counted, never named.

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 will be negotiating with. That lives in the McKinley County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.
