Oregon Bureau of Land Management Easements and Rights-of-Way Lines

A linear geospatial dataset representing Rights-of-Way (ROWs) and Easements managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon. It contains a curated subset of encumbrance data, focusing on entities most relevant for common GIS spatial analysis, with basic attribute information provided. The authoritative legal details reside in Master Title Plats, case files, and the LR2000 database.

Use Cases

• Map and analyze the spatial distribution of Easements and Rights-of-Way lines across Oregon for land use planning
• Perform GIS spatial analysis on linear ROW features to assess proximity to physical infrastructure like roads or power lines
• Identify areas of federal land encumbrance by overlaying Easement and ROW data with other land management layers

Strengths

• Data is curated for common GIS spatial analysis, focusing on the most relevant encumbrances.
• Sourced from authoritative Department of the Interior systems and legal records.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, KML, and GDB for interoperability.

Limitations

• The dataset is not comprehensive and excludes some ROWs and Easements.
• Only basic attribute information is provided; full legal history requires consulting external authoritative sources.
• Sample data and specific record counts are unavailable to assess dataset scale.
