Description: This data set depicts lands selected by the State of Alaska including lands that were rejected and remain topfiled. State of Alaska selection applications are lands the state has applied for but title has not been conveyed to the State of Alaska. 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). Natural boundaries, such as ridge lines and rivers, are examples where aliquot part descriptions can not be used. USS and Rectangular survey data has not been integrated when creating the geospatial depiction from database records. At this time, all positions are as calculated or as derived from township and section protraction.
Description: This data set depicts priority conveyance areas for the BLM - Alaska ANCSA 17(d)(1) Withdrawals Draft EIS. It contains state top-filed priority 1 and 2 lands with native selections, native vet allotment selections, other agency selections and federal mining claims removed.
Description: Areas most likely to be developed (all dissolved together). Created from the original likely to be developed areas, with areas open to mineral entry from 11/6/2023 (includes PLO 5180 as open to metalliferous) removed and state selections priority 1 and 2 removed.
Description: ANCSA D1 withdrawal lands proposed as Alternative D for the Alaska BLM's ANCSA 17(D)(1) Withdrawals Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Alaska BLM. This file was dissolved by alternative status and planning area. See the AltD_Status field for the maintain/revoke status.
Description: The objective of this dataset is a simplified straightened outer boundary line to aid in visualizing the lands under consideration within the 17(d)(1) Withdrawal EIS planning area. Dataset not intended for analysis, cartographic purposes only.

Description: This boundary is used for analysis and cartography to display the area considered as part of the D1 Withdrawal EIS begun in August 2022 by BLM - Alaska.Of the 5 planning areas included in this project, the coastal boundaries of two - East Alaska and Ring of Fire- were generalized to improve draw speed. Instead of outlining each island along the coast, two lines were used to represent 3 nautical miles offshore. The first line is the Outer Continental Shelf Submerged Lands Act (SLA) boundary made available by BOEM. Where the SLA linework was not available, BLM - Alaska buffered the 12 nautical mile Territorial Sea boundary identified by NOAA - Coast Survey by 9 miles to represent 3 nautical miles.
