I am very curios as to why a certain piece of property was disposed of.

Tried looking but it's government nonsense.

Best to call the local district office or supervisors office for that Forest. In most cases USFS land can only be disposed of if it’s considered an administrative site or if it’s directed by congress, or it’s traded for other ownership in other places example trading 40 acres of land on the edge of USFS ownership for a 40 acre in holding. You won’t get a good answer from the front desk person answering the phone (they are the lowest person on the pay scale and probably new. Good at providing info on camping and firewood permits but not more complex subjects.) so best ask for the lands and realty specialist or the local district ranger as they will either be able to answer your questions or point you in the direction of the person that has the info. Often the local districts don’t have certain positions due to budget cuts over the years so the sale would be handled by the supervisors office hence someone from the local office possibly not having all the info.

Typically NEPA must also be completed and those can usually be found on the forst website. Simply google the name
Of the forest and look under the land management and project tabs.
