Anyone else having trouble accessing plats and field notes on the GLO Records web site? No matter which search parameters I enter, I get, "No matching records found." I get results for queries of Land Patents, Land Status Records, or Control Document Index records. No results when querying the Survey Plats and Field Notes records. I noticed this yesterday and the problem persists.
I just tried and got exactly the results you've described.
Guess the BLM didn't pay their "wannacry" ransomware in time...
ps - I've noticed over the last 60 days the site has had intermittent problems. Things usually clear up within a few hours...hopefully.
I've had similar problems the last week or so (on and off), I though it was just me!

Thanks guys. I thought it might be my browser. The BLM usually posts a news alert before any scheduled maintenance. I've had periodic issues since the first of the year when they switched from HTTP to HTTPS web addresses.
I just updated the hyperlinks in an Excel file so I must have crashed the system. 😉

Is this Blair?
You actually get notes from that site, all I've ever been able to access are the plats. The notes I call for
For what is available in Colorado, only a few very early rectangular field notes are available, as are those with surveys conducted after 1998. All of the rectangular field notes and the great majority of the mineral survey field notes have been scanned. The BLM office has a 1 TB hard drive containing all of those field notes for the nominal cost of reproduction, a mere $100. Quite a bargain for Colorado surveyors. The hard drive also includes approx. 3800 mineral survey plats that are not yet hosted on the GLO Records web site. Call the BLM Public Room for purchasing. They'll even ship it for a few extra dollars.
Other states have similar efforts underway.
The plats and field notes are available again on GLO Records. Maybe they were running some diagnostics or maintenance over the weekend.

For quite a while the Wy notes and plats are available on the WY BLM website, I would have to say it's the gold standard. The Montana notes showed up in a very limited basis, then they vanished from the website, now you just call and they will send a file with the township you want. The only issue with it is the quality of the scans which aren't very good 🙁
Notes for Oklahoma are readily available on the site...or should I say section subdivision notes. The exterior lines of the townships, ran earlier than the township subdivision, are another story. They're there, but you really have to look hard sometimes.
I'm going to fall short of complaining about it though.
