A new way to look at corner crossing?

Sure but Helicopters. The definition is what type and ease of access. Regardless of what we want to see, it is unrealistic to think every piece of public land should have an easement to it.
I can afford to walk. I can't afford a helicopter.
Especially a helicopter making at least 2 trips.

Also, "fairness" has Jack Schmidt to do with real estate.
Here in Altoona PA, we watched 2 residential blocks get Eminent Domain for the hospital to put up parking garages.
One block is an empty gravel lot that is fenced off.
The other block is a Sheetz convenience store.

So "fairness " isn't dispersed equally.

Never is, but not sure what your example has to do with this situation. Are you implying that the government paying people fair market value for land to put up a community hospital is the same as forcing a public easement across private property to access landlocked parcels? I’m not sure courts would agree, but it is an interesting argument.
 
What if oil was found to be on "land locked" public property and the oil lease was given to an Exxon? Does that mean necessity changes? If necessity can change for an oil company to drill a well, what other uses would change the "necessity" of access to public land? In Montana, outdoor sports are either the first or second biggest industry...would this be a basis for "necessity" to increase the biggest industry within a state?
 
and the oil lease was given to an Exxon?
In your example, necessity probably still doesn't exist like it would in the East with private land. How it would work is Exxon would negotiate the cost of the easement with the landowner. Know a guy that does that exact thing across the Bakken. Some of the wells are on public and some on private. Money talks, and silences I guess. Landowners often complain after those trucks run through in wet conditions. The company usually has maintenance responsibility.
