Maps & layers

Research public land, parcels and hunt units

Compare boundaries while keeping ownership, access and hunting rules separate.

Where to start in the appLayers → Property & Access
  1. 01

    Find public and managed land

    Enable Public Land or Federal Lands. Read the access colors and source details. BLM Surface Management adds management context where available; a public boundary alone does not confirm hunting permission.

  2. 02

    Inspect a parcel

    Enable the available private-parcel layer and zoom until outlines load. Tap a parcel to review the attributes and official source links that are available. Missing owner information means the source or your access does not provide it.

  3. 03

    Add hunting zones and units

    Turn on Hunting Zones & Units. Gold outlines show regulatory areas without replacing public or private land colors. These are unit boundaries, not ownership lines.

  4. 04

    Check access routes

    Use Roads & Trails, National Forest Roads, National Forest Trails or USFS Motorized Roads where relevant. PLSS / Section Grid is a survey reference. A line on the map is not proof that a route is open to your vehicle or to public entry.

  5. 05

    Confirm the specific hunt

    Review Field rules and access for the chosen map area and open the managing agency's current publications. Confirm the location, species, dates, method and local restrictions before visiting.

WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS DIFFERENT

Quick answers.

Why is one county missing parcel information?

Available parcel geometry and attributes depend on participating public sources and their coverage. A missing outline does not imply public ownership. Use the source links or local assessor when the layer cannot answer your question.
