Not a lawyer. But in Utah the trend is for private landowners to build homes in "the back 40", off of class d roads(county roads not maintained), then aggressively petition the county to "abandon" the road(give it to the landowner.
It is successful, too often.
One thought I have.
Lots of BLM/FS land in Utah is landlocked by ranches/farms that lay between highways and paved roads. Many of those ranches have grazing permits. Seems like trading grazing fees for access would be easy. Seems also like many of these farms there could be trades made on tax side.
Having said that. There are many new "ranches" that are specifically targeting land to buy that will landlock public, seen that in s Utah recently. On those ranches I have no problem with eminent domain.
