Public and Private Land Ownership Maps

This web page provides access to two pre-built map series using the USGS 1:100,000 scale topographic map boundaries as the indexing system.  Two maps are available for each 100k quadrangle, representing separate looks at land ownership:

• Public Ownership and Conservation Land Management Maps
  Updated February 2009
  • These maps are produced by the Montana Natural Heritage Program from its Land Stewardship Mapping database.
  The maps depict three main categories of land management:
  • Public Lands
  • Conservation Easements
  • Special designated lands such as: wildlife refuges, Research Natural Areas, wilderness, etc.
• Private Land Ownership (map and text listing)
  Updated August 2009
  • NOTE: Maps that include any portion of Flathead, Missoula, or Silver Bow counties will be incomplete for those portions of the maps that fall in those counties because these counties do not currently support coding to facilitate identification of private lands.
  • These maps are produced by NRIS program staff in cooperation with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks
  • They are focused on private land ownership, and show the owners of any contiguous tract of land greater than 40 acres owned by a single party. The "Private Land Listing" column in the table below contains a link to a text file of owners as shown on map.
  • Broad categories of public land ownership are shown.

The maps are provided in Adobe PDF format and are updated on an annual basis. They are designed to be printed at a size of 36 by 30 inches on a large format printer. The following print shops have indicated they can print these maps and mail them to you: (The State Library does not endorse any print shop.)
