Start with the links that @spk578 listed, and also check for DNR websites, check the USDA NRCS data portal (looks like there are conservation easements there at least), BLM/USFS... You may even try going down to the county level. | |

| Jun 30, 2015 at 19:35 | comment | added | spk578 | @GeoJohn you'll need to look into the Land Office. For example Texas land office have GIS data availiable: glo.texas.gov/GLO/agency-administration/gis | |
| Jun 30, 2015 at 19:33 | comment | added | GeoJohn | @mr.adam I am talking about within the continental United States, specifically in the Delaware Basin in SE New Mexico and Texas. I figured this was kind of a long shot. BOEM is a decent source that I've used before, unfortunately I'm more concerned with onshore data at the moment. | |

| Jun 30, 2015 at 19:21 | comment | added | mr.adam | Also in regard to data openness, sometimes it's not a matter of whether it's public information, but just whether it's aggregated and distributed on a national/international scale (are you just thinking of the US?). technically it may be public, but you may need to sort through the easement data by state, or by government agency (BLM, USFS, etc.) in order to aggregate it... that said, this looks like a good start for offshore stuff at least: boem.gov/Maps-and-GIS-Data | |

| Jun 30, 2015 at 19:15 | comment | added | Sara Barnes | In regard to the public/private question - in my experience, companies tend to be quite protective of their leasehold GIS data. Leasehold information may be public knowledge on a small scale (as far as individual landowners know who holds their lease), however if companies make this GIS data (or large scale maps) available it can give their competitors an idea what their plans for expansion are, which is not a good thing for them. | |
