Using Parcel & Ownership Layers

How to see who owns land near your hunt area and identify public vs. private boundaries.

Know exactly whose land you're near before you step across a boundary.

  1. 1

    Open the Layers tab.

  2. 2

    Under Private Lands, turn on Private Land. (Public land layers like Hunting Units, State Land, and Federal Land are in the Public Lands section.)

  3. 3

    Zoom in — parcel boundaries appear as you get closer, with owner labels at higher zoom levels.

  4. 4

    Tap any parcel to open its details, including:

    • Owner name
    • Acreage
    • Property Address and Tax Address
    • County, land use, and elevation where available
  5. 5

    Track your permission status per parcel by tagging it No access, Conditional, or Permitted, and add a private note (e.g. "Talked to owner 10/15 — OK for archery only").

Tip: The parcel your map reticle is sitting on is the one you'll tap — zoom in close near boundary lines to make sure you're reading the right property.
