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.

Geothermal on federal land

Leased and released: 1 closed federal geothermal leases, none active.

1 lease on 749 acres has 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.

The private miles in between are the work.

Competing surface use

7,820 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. 4,436 are active, 3,066 newly filed, 318 under review. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.

Oil & gas

488 authorized federal oil and gas leases on 350,097 acres, 27 of them issued in the last twelve months. 7,508 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.

What this page can't tell you

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