Map of BLM Land in New York

121 views 0 August 28, 2023 Updated on September 17, 2023

There is no map of BLM land in New York. However, the BLM does maintain an “Eastern States” office that covers all areas east of the Mississippi River. But this office manages all of United States’ sub-surface mineral rights (oil, gas, etc). This office also manages auctions of livestock and other properties gathered or seized from western states.

Map of BLM Land in New York

The map of New York above does not display any BLM lands because there are no BLM lands in New York. In fact, there are no BLM lands east of the Mississippi River.

Otherwise, all BLM lands available for camping are all west of the Mississippi River.

The BLM does operate an “Eastern States” office that is responsible for managing the mineral rights the federal government owns, which would include oil and gas. That office also conducts auctions of livestock (horses, burros) as well as seized property, from collected from western states.
