Filing is stayed while protests are decided
If the BLM receives a protest before a plat's scheduled official filing, the official filing of that plat is stayed until the protest is dismissed or resolved. A plat will not be officially filed while protests remain unresolved.
You can protest these Alaska survey plats
If you disagree with any of the listed survey plats in Alaska, you may file a written notice of protest with the BLM State Director in Anchorage. The BLM must receive protests by June 1, 2026, and the notice must identify the plat(s) you are protesting.
View plats free; copies available to buy
You can view the plats at the BLM Alaska Public Information Center in Anchorage at no cost, or you may buy a copy from the same office (222 West 7th Avenue, Mailstop 13, Anchorage, AK 99513). Viewing is free; payment is required only if you choose to purchase a copy.
Protests and statements may be public
