US Public Lands

Editor's Review

Ever wondered who owns that sprawling piece of land you're eyeing for your next adventure? 🤔 The US Federal Government holds nearly 650 million acres, about 30% of the nation's land! 😮 That's land for all Americans, but accessing boundary info hasn't been easy... until now! 🥳

Introducing US Public Lands, the app that puts the power of land ownership information right in your pocket! 📱 No more bulky maps or endless online searches. This app gives you beautifully colored, individually selectable layers for properties managed by:

• US Forest Service (FS) 🌲
• National Park Service (NPS) 🏞️
• Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) 🚧
• US Fish & Wildlife Service 🐟
• Bureau of Reclamation 💧
• Tennessee Valley Authority 💡
