Come learn about the potential for going to a Bureau of Land Management, sometimes abbreviated to BLM, site in totality to view the 2045 titular solar eclipse! Created in 1946, the BLM is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior responsible for administering federal lands and is headquartered in Washington DC. The land that the BLM oversees encompasses more than 247.3 million acres, which equates to 1/8th of the US landmass.

The BLM has 877 sites, of which, 119 of which are in totality over 5 states. All of the tables and maps are original content, created by CosmosPNW.
