Congress passed the Modernizing Access to our Public Land Act (MAPLand Act) in 2022. Section 4 of the MAPLand Act requires the BLM to, not later than four years after the date of enactment of the Act, digitize and publish, on the applicable agency website, GIS mapping data that specifies, with respect to the BLM, all Federal interests in private land, including easements, reservations, and rights-of-way (1) in which the Federal Government does not have a fee title interest; and (2) that provide legal public recreational access to the Federal land. This aggregated dataset contains public and BLM public access easement and reservation data.
The Public Lands Access Data Project modernizes BLM public access easement and reservation data from tabular form (Realty case files and GLO Records) to geospatial form. This effort will provide opportunity for participating BLM state and field offices the ability to modernize (digitize) existing tabular lands and realty data (i.e., easements, reservations, land exchanges and other lands and realty records and case file types) to populate a national public lands access dataset.
The data will directly support improved public access to public lands by providing the information in an accessible format for public use and integration into commercial mobile applications that informs the public how to reach public lands via legally perfected easements or patent reservations that cross private, state or other agency owned lands. |

| description:
|
This polygon feature contains parcels containing Federal interests in private land, including easements and reservations (1) in which the Federal Government does not have a fee title interest; and (2) that provide both legal public recreational access and legal administrative access to the Federal land in conformance with the MAPLand Act and the PLAD project. This dataset also also provides BLM managers with information to identify access limitations, vulnerabilities, and areas where access to public lands may be improved. The dataset can also support additional management of resources such as timber harvest, travel and transportation planning, wildfire fuels reduction projects and many other land management related decisions. |
