The MAPLand Act Easement Areas layer depicts areas that represents federal interests in non-federal land, also known as easements, that may be used to provide public recreational access that are granted to, or reserved and managed by the following agencies: BLM, NPS, FWS, USBR, USACE and FS. The intent of a public access easement is to allow for ingress and egress for the general public to utilize or travel through a piece of property to access federal interests on non-federal land or to allow for the public to travel through non-federal land to reach adjacent public land. The data provided in this layer represents some level of public access, however, users should refer to the restriction information field and additional information from the agency as appropriate. For additional information about a specific feature, please use the origin agency field and contact the specific agency.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> USFS Chief Information Office, Enterprise Data Warehouse Please send an e-mail to the address below.

Public Law No: 117-114 (04/29/2022) - https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3113 Modernizing Access to our Public Land Act or the MAPLand Act This law directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service; Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Park Service (NPS), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to jointly develop and adopt interagency standards to ensure compatibility and interoperability among federal databases for the collection and dissemination of outdoor recreation data related to federal lands and used to depict locations at which recreation uses are available to the public. Interior, the Forest Service, and the Corps of Engineers must digitize and publish geographic information system data that includes: federal interests, including easements and rights-of-way, in private land; status information as to whether roads and trails are open or closed; the dates on which roads and trails are seasonally opened and closed; the types of vehicles and recreational uses that are allowed on each segment of roads and trails; and the boundaries of areas where hunting or recreational shooting is permanently restricted or closed. Interior, the Forest Service, and the Corps of Engineers may work with the U.S. Geological Survey to collect, digitize, standardize, or publish data to meet the requirements of this bill. 2016 1 -149.97388056 -70.65297144 61.12790401 30.05430237 Publication Date 0 Quality control measures taken: this feature class is populated by an automated translation process from the source feature class that is edited and maintained by the data stewards. Only stewards with the proper role grants can edit the data. The application used for editing has built in controls to only allow valid geometry and domains to control attribute integrity. This theme is current to date of publication. Generally the source information used to record spatial locations are from: 1) on-screen digitizing with a georeferenced topographic or image background; or 2) GPS field collected positions. This data was published using Feature Manipulation Engine Software. The spatial features were extracted from the transactional database, manipulated to meet the desired output format and published to the target feature class. 2026-03-26 https://mapland-act-geoplatform.hub.arcgis.com/ 25867 Feature class: A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference.
