Description: In Alaska, the Bureau of Land Management has been tasked with the largest land transfer effort ever taken in the United States. For more than 30 years, the BLM has been involved with the survey and conveyance of lands in Alaska under three statutes: the Native Allotment Act of 1906; the Alaska Statehood Act, and the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). The work being done to implement these laws is collectively called the Alaska Land Transfer Program. The Alaska Land Transfer Program has three distinct phases: preliminary adjudication and application approval; cadastral survey; and conveyance of lands and entitlements.

Description: This data set depicts lands selected by ANCSA village and regional corporations. Data attributes are a snapshot of the BLM-AK Land Information System Database and are only accurate as that database. Alaska, being a state within the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), describes land to the aliquot part (subsections of larger land plots) where ever possible. Where data is not able to be described with an aliquot part, the data is generalized to the nearest PLSS section (640 acres). In some instances lands have been mapped based on survey or digitized using a Master Title Plat (MTP).
