Summary
These Statewide PLAT Book maps make it easy to see where you are at relative to public and private property boundaries. This map has the same features as our BLM4GPS map but Private Property Boundaries and the Landowner Names are shown in addition to all the other features our customers love. Don't miss another opportunity by not knowing who owns what!

Advantages
- You will be able to see your position relative to public and private land boundaries. For example, if you are on a BLM section, your current location will show up on a yellow background. If you are on private land, your GPS will show your current location on a white background.
- Wherever you go you have a Statewide Ownership and Topo Map compact down to a device that fits in the palm of your hand and weighs less than a pound.
- Easily Compare to your Paper Maps to quickly figure out your location on that Paper Map using section lines and property ownership coloring as a reference.
- The PLAT4GPS map gives you 2 data sources to help you be sure of Property Ownership.
- Tax Data that shows who owns the land
- Government Owned Lands data that distinguishes government owned lands from private lands by coloring: [BLM, State , Forest Service , private=white, US Fish & Wildlife , National Parks , Indian Reservations, etc.]
Please Note that these 2 data sources may show property boundaries differently in some cases. In most cases the property boundaries the same or less than 20 ft different, but in some cases the boundaries differ by 100 yards or more. In any case, the map will give most users a better idea of where the actual property boundary is than by simply using a paper map alone. By comparing these two data sets and obeying property postings, users can be even more confident that they aren't violating trespassing laws.
The Tax Data is typically more accurate as far as ownership because government tax revenue is at stake. If the Government Owned Lands data shows an area as being government owned, but the Tax Data shows a private land owner's name on the property, trust the Tax Data and assume it is private land until you can verify ownership by talking to a Local Law Enforcement Official or Surveyor.
