Indian Land Surveyor Contacts

The BLM Indian Lands Surveyors (BILS) support the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Tribes by providing cadastral survey services for Indian trust assets and restricted lands. These services help fulfill the Secretary of the Interior’s trust responsibilities.

Each BILS is assigned to a specific BIA Region. Refer to the Map of BIA Regions to identify the servicing BILS for your area.
