Title: Land ownership maps
Post by: Debark on June 18, 2017, 02:44:04 PM: Hello everyone, I am used to hunting the same area with no luck. I am trying to open my options and fine new areas to hunt this year and take it more seriously. Does anyone know of good statewide land ownership maps for free? I am trying to decipher where I can and cant hunt. Thank you!

It shows at a resolution of about 1 square mile so you can usually make out things like the school land grant sections. The problem is that locals (lessee's of said land or neighbors) make it hard to find access points.

When you vote for the State Land Commissioner what you should be looking for in the candidates is the one most favorable to public access. I don't believe the current officeholder is particularly pro-active, for example doesn't have a website with access points for each and every block of land.
