About Idaho Land Records
Idaho is a public-land state. Lands were generally acquired from the
federal government or from other individuals. Records for the BLM are
on file at the National Archives-Pacific Northwest Region and the state
BLM Office at 1387 South Vinnell Way, Boise, ID 83709-1657. These land
records cover the years 1868 to 1910. The following land office records
are on microfiche in Seattle: Boise Land Office (1868–1910);
Oxford Land Office (1879–1908); Oxford-Blackfoot Land Office
(1879–1901); Blackfoot Land Office (1884–1940); Coeur d'Alene
Land Office (1885–1908), Hailey Land Office (1883–1940),
Lewiston (1874–1908); and Unidentified Land Office Records (1878–1917).
Also on file are records for the Office of Surveyor General of Idaho
(1913–50). These land office records include letters sent and
received by state offices and suboffices, case files, township tract
books, survey plats, registers, indexes of declaratory statements,
entries, receipts, certificates for homesteads, mineral, and timber
culture lands.
Lands transacted between individuals were generally logged by the county
recorder. The originals of these county records are on file at the
local county courthouses. Many of these records have been microfilmed
and are available through the FHL. For further information, consult:
