Areawide Boundary

This data set was developed to provide the general public with easy access to oil and gas leasing information. It is not a legal record and is for informational purposes only. Source documents remain the official record. The purpose of areawide leasing is to provide an established time each year that the state will offer for lease all available acreage within the five geographical regions. The leasing program is governed by Alaska Statute 38.05.035. PLEASE NOTE - These are general boundaries and do not reflect tracts excluded from a particular lease sale. The user must refer to the sale announcement and possibly other documentation to identify tracts that have been permanently deleted or deferred from a particular sale. More information can be found through the Division of Oil and Gas website, under the Leasing Sales section.
