Select your county

Alberta is split up into numerous counties, which each produce their own landowner maps to show who owns which parcels of land. Open the Map Layers panel in the bottom left corner of the map, and tap or scroll to the Landowner Maps section. Tap on the map you are interested in to view more details.

Confirm boundaries and purchase

Turn on the switch for Show Boundary and then tap Zoom to boundary to make sure that it’s a boundary of the landowner map is one that you are interested in. You can also tap within the bounds of a county and the boundary will be shown on the map (dashed blue in color).

Landowner maps are sold on a county by county basis (not by WMU) and purchases work just like a paper map – you get the version you purchased for as long as you want to use it. Once a new map is available you can purchase that to get the latest information. Prices range from $9.99 to $30.99.

Agricultural Lease Land

There are over 6000 agricultural public land dispositions (leases) that are also available for public access activities such as hunting (subject to restrictions). These lands include Grazing Leases (GRL) and Farm Development Leases (FDL), which typically require users to contact the leaseholder prior to access. Grazing Permits (GRP), Provincial Grazing Reserves (GRR), Forest Grazing Licenses (FGL) and Cultivation Permits (CUP) require basic conditions to be followed, but do not require contact (unless specifically listed). All of these leases have their boundaries shown on the map and are searchable in the Agricultural Lease Land menu. By tapping on the lease you are interested in, or selecting it from the search menu, you can see the leaseholder contact info and any restrictions that are in place.

These areas are shown in a teal on the map and are built into the app as part of the Alberta Public Lands Layers. They can be used even without cell coverage.

The “Green Area”

The Boundary for the Green Area of the province can also be shown. This is primarily public land, but some areas are under disposition (lease) and approximately 1,330 quarter sections and scattered small pockets of private land also exist. The Green Area is provided as a guideline, but does not indicate that you have permission to access all land within it.

The area is shown in green on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. The boundary is quite large, and enabling it will slow down the app and reduce performance.

Vacant Disposition Land

In addition to the larger tracts of land shown in the other areas, vacant disposition land can also be shown. This includes leased public land like Pipeline Agreements, Easements, and Licenses of Occupation. These ‘Vacant Public Dispositions’ may be accessed by other users, as long as no development is occurring or is likely to occur within 90 days (or the road allowance is locked).

The are shown in purple on the map (when turned on), but do not have additional information other than the boundaries. They are not usually large tracts of land, but help with finding cutlines and other utility clearings. If they overlap other disposition types (like agricultural lease land) the restrictions of the overlapping lease take precedent. These boundaries are not built into the app, and are downloaded (and cached locally) as the area of the map is viewed.

Huntable Public Parks

The Huntable Public Parks layer is made up of three types of public land that are all accessible and allow hunting: Natural Areas, Wildland Provincial Parks, and Wilderness Parks. Some parks may have special restrictions such as firearms limitations or restricted areas, but in general they allow hunting. Natural areas may overlap with Agricultural Lease Land, and are subject to the access restrictions of the lease.

They are shown in dark green on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give additional information or restrictions within the park.

Restricted Access Lands

Although there are vast expanses of public land in Alberta, some parcels are used by the province or leased out for other purposes (mining, exploration, airstrips, etc). This layer maps out those parcels of Public Land that do not allow public access or have access restrictions (for the purpose of hunting, or otherwise). The Disposition Identifier listed can be used to discuss access restrictions with the Alberta Environment and Parks.

They are shown in dark red on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give information on the restrictions of the boundary.

General Use Crown Land

94% of British Columbia is made up of public land, and the vast majority of this land is publicly accessible. By taking the land boundaries of BC and subtracting out the boundaries of all private land, conservation land, parks, protected areas, reserves, leases, and other federal land, we derived the ‘General Use Crown Land’ Layer.

There may be additional access restrictions on this land that are not documented in openly available GIS layers, and it is the users responsibility to obey all posted restrictions in the field. Although we have done our best to ensure this is accurate, discrepancies may exist. This layer should be used as a guideline only.

These areas are shown in a purple color, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Private Land

Although making up only 6% of land in BC, private land is important because permission is required to access it. Knowing the size and shape of a piece of land makes it easier to discuss with a landowner, and being more informed could help with obtaining permission.

These areas are shown in a grey with a semi-transparent white filling the areas on the map. Each time a new area of the map is viewed, or a new zoom level is looked at, that portion of thelayer needs to be downloaded (requiring cell or Wifi service). Once downloaded, those tiles are cached on device for future offline use.

Conservation Land

Many parcels of private land are owned by Conservation organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, Nature Conservancy of Canada, The Nature Trust of British Columbia, Central Okanogan Land Trust, and the Denman Conservancy Association. This layer maps and lists these private conservation lands in a searchable manner, and provides links to access conditions for those lands. Public access varies from organization to organization, and the user is responsible for determining access using the links provided.

These boundaries are shown in pale orange on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give additional information about the selected conservation land.

Crown Lease Land

Crown Land Lease is a type of land tenure issued under the Land Act. A Land Act Lease is issued where long term tenure is required, where substantial improvements are proposed, and/or where definite boundaries are required in order to avoid land use and property conflicts. The tenure holder is granted the exclusive use and enjoyment of the area. The tenure holder also has the right to exclude or charge the public for use of the land and/or improvements, when this is consistent with the terms of the lease. Generally speaking, permission is required for access and should be treated much the same as private land.

These boundaries are shown in teal on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give additional information about the lease type.

Municipalities

Municipalities have the authority to enforce shooting and hunting restrictions within their jurisdictions. By having these boundaries mapped, you can assess whether you are within the municipal boundary and subject to its bylaws.

They are shown in dark grey on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give municipality name and type.

No Hunting Areas

Some land designations forbid hunting by definition. Those area designations included in this layer are Ecological Reserves, National Parks, National Wildlife Areas and Migratory Bird Sanctuaries.This is not a complete listing of every parcel of land the dis-allows hunting, as that is an impossible task. It is merely a visualization of the defined no hunting areas as listed above. No-hunting zones described in the Hunting and Trapping Regulations, which do not have digital boundaries published by the province, are NOT included in this layer.

They are shown in black on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give the area name and designation.

Parks and Protected areas

General Use Crown Land

In New Brunswick, 50% of the land base is Crown Land, which is held in public trust by the province for the benefit of the public. The vast majority of this land is publicly accessible.

There may be additional access restrictions on this land that are not documented in openly available GIS layers, and it is the user’s responsibility to obey all posted restrictions in the field. Although we have done our best to ensure this is accurate, discrepancies may exist.

These boundaries are shown in pale purple on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give additional information about the selected land (including who owns the Timber License for the area.

Private Land

Making up the other 50% of land in New Brunswick, private land is important because permission may be required to access it (when posted with Yellow Dots). Knowing the size and shape of a piece of land makes it easier to discuss with a landowner, and being more informed could help with obtaining permission.

These areas are shown with a grey border and a semi transparent striped fill on the map. Each time a new area of the map is viewed, or a new zoom level is looked at, that portion of the layer needs to be downloaded (requiring cell or Wifi service). Once downloaded, those tiles are cached on device for future offline use. You can tap on a parcel of land to retrieve the PAN (Property Account Number), and tap for details to see the Property Assessment information (requires cell or Wifi service).

Huntable Public Parks

This layer includes the boundaries (and additional information about) Wildlife Management Areas, Class II Protected Natural Areas, and Military Bases that allow hunting. Specific rules for both access and hunting may exist. When possible, links to additional content are provided for the specific areas.

These boundaries are shown in pale green on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give additional information about the selected conservation land.

Deer Wintering Areas

As snow accumulates, deer congregate in wintering areas, commonly known as ‘deer yards’. These areas are usually located in mature softwood stands. They provide protection from the blustery winds, intercept snowfall, and minimize the animal’s heat loss.

These areas are shown in orange on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will link to some additional information from the province about Deer Wintering Areas.

Private Conservation Lands

This layer includes the parcels of private land that are owned by conservation organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service, and The Nature Trust of NB.

General Use Crown Land

87% of Ontario is made up of public land, and the vast majority of this land is publicly accessible. By taking the General Use Public Land boundaries of Ontario and subtracting out the boundaries of all private land, parks, protected areas, reserves and other federal land, we derived the ‘General Use Crown Land layer’.

There may be additional access restrictions on this land that are not documented in openly available GIS layers, and it is the user’s responsibility to obey all posted restrictions in the field. Although we have done our best to ensure this is accurate, discrepancies may exist. This layer should be used as a guideline only.

Enhanced Management Areas

Enhanced Management Areas is a land use category that has been established in order to provide more detailed land use direction in areas of special features or values. A wide variety of resource and recreational users can occur in EMAs. In some areas, specific uses may be subject to conditions that are designed to support the values that make the area special. Enhanced Management Areas may lead to modifications (e.g., timing, location, method, access) in resource-management practices in order to recognize other land use values. In the detailed view of each EMA, you can see whether public access to roads, hunting, fishing, and other activities is permitted

They are shown in orange on the map, and are built into the app and can be used even without cell coverage, however the detailed view of each EMA requires cell coverage or wifi.

Licenses of Occupation

Thousands of parcels of Public Land in Ontario are subject to Licenses of Occupation (LOC). An LOC gives the licensee certain rights and responsibilities, such as:

• gives the right to use the land for up to 20 years, but does not give ownership of the land
• no extensive and/or valuable improvements to the land can be made
• no future financial or environmental liability is anticipated as a result of the intended land use
• rights granted are transferable, with ministry consent, but there is no right of renewal

In most cases, these LOCs do not prevent other valid land uses. However, we map these regions as there may be other non-recreational activities taking place. Additional care should be taken if accessing one of these areas, and all signage should be obeyed.

They are shown in pale pink on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give the disposition number, tenure number, or OGF ID.

Mining Land Tenure

The Mining Land Tenure layer includes surface and mining rights on private or crown land. Surface and mining rights on private or crown land mean that the land is not available for public access. Permissions is required from the leaseholder or private landowner.

They are shown in yellow on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Ontario Public Lands subscription map layer

Patent Crown Land

The Patent Crown Land layer consists of parcels of crown land with uncertain access restrictions. These parcels may be used by the province, leased out for exclusive use to third parties, or possibly available for public access.

There may be access restrictions on these land parcels that are not documented in openly available data, and it is the user’s responsibility to obey all posted restrictions in the field. Discrepancies may exist and this layer should be used as a guideline only. You should not assume public access without verifying with the MNR.

They are shown in teal on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Provincial Crown Land

92% of Quebec is made up of public land, and the vast majority of this land is publicly accessible. There may be additional access and discharge restrictions on this land that are not documented in openly available GIS layers, and it is the user’s responsibility to obey all posted restrictions in the field. The cartographic representation of the private or public nature of land and authority is constructed from archived data from the old Terrier register (SITAT), requests for transfers of authority, state property transactions and the integration of data from the cadastre of Quebec. On the other hand, this representation does not take into account certain reservations established by law (three chains, borders, paths, beds of watercourses, etc.). Consequently, this representation has no legal value, and it is always necessary to refer to the deeds or to the letters patent and to apply the law in order to determine the ownership of a portion of the territory.

These areas are shown in purple on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Private Land

Although making up only 8% of land in Quebec, private land is important because permission is required to access it.

These areas are shown in dark red on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Outfitters

Outfitters with exclusive rights are outfitters that have exclusive wildlife exploitation rights in a given territory, under an exclusive rights lease arrangement with the Ministry, for hunting and/or fishing and/or trapping. The designated territory is subject to a specific Wildlife Trust agreement and only the outfitter’s clients are permitted to hunt, fish or trap within that territory. The representation of this territory has no legal claim. Only filed documents have the force of law.

Fish & Wildlife Development Fund Lands

Wildlife lands are not reserves or sanctuaries. These natural areas have been bought with your hunting and trapping dollars, and can be used by everyone. Naturally, hunting is allowed on these lands. Lands are also open to other outdoor nature enthusiasts, including hikers, bird watchers and photographers.

There are four main rules when visiting FWDF lands:

• Walk-in traffic only (except when retrieving big game during hunting season)
• Walk-in camping only – no open fires;
• No littering;
• and No interference with an authorized management treatment (e.g., haying or grazing).

These boundaries are shown in orange on the map, and are built into the app as part of the subscription. They can be used even without cell coverage. Tapping on the area will give additional information about the selected land.

Select your RM

Saskatchewan is split up into nearly 300 rural municipalities, which each produce their own RM landowner maps to show who owns which parcels of land. Over 90% of the counties have been integrated and we are continuously working on getting more. Open the Map Layers panel in the bottom left corner of the map, and scroll to the Landowner Maps section. Tap on the map you are interested in to view more details.

Confirm boundaries and purchase

Turn on the switch for Show Boundary and then tap Zoom to boundary to make sure that the boundary of the RM landowner map is one that you are interested in. You can also tap within the bounds of a county and the boundary will be shown on the map (blue, dashed line).

Landowner maps are sold on an RM by RM basis (not by WMZ) and purchases work just like a paper map – you get the version you purchased for as long as you want to use it. Once a new landowner map is available, you can purchase that to get the latest information.

Crown Land

By taking the land boundaries of the Yukon and subtracting out the boundaries of all surveyed land, parks, and reserves, leases, and communities, we derived the ‘Crown Land’ layer. There may be additional access and discharge restrictions on this land that are not documented in openly available GIS layers, and it is the user’s responsibility to obey all posted restrictions in the field. Although we have done our best to ensure this is accurate, discrepancies may exist. This layer should be used as a guideline only.

These areas are shown in purple on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Surveyed Land

Surveyed Land Parcels are real property objects that represent the spatial extent of a lot or parcel of land against which rights and interests may be registered. Land Parcel with a parcel status of ‘Active’ form the current cadastral fabric.

These areas are shown in grey on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Communities

This layer is made up of several community boundaries including: Municipal, Development Area Regulations, Land Claims Final Agreement, Self Government Agreement, Memorandum of Understanding, Local Area Plans, and Community Plans.

These areas are shown in dark grey on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Agricultural Land Dispositions

This layer includes land under administration and control of Government of Yukon, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (EMR), or Agriculture Branch. It includes all dispositions of agricultural land.

These areas are shown in teal on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Outfitting Areas

This layer displays outfitting concessions (OCs) which are also known as Outfitting Areas. They are legal boundaries that define an area where the holder of the concession has the exclusive right to outfit non-residents for the purpose of hunting big game animals (excepting special guiding licenses). If a non-resident wishes to hunt in the Yukon they must do so accompanied by a Yukon resident–either a private individual who does this for free, or a commercial operator who does this as a business (an outfitter). Each outfitter is licensed to operate within a particular OA. There are 20 such concessions in the Yukon–one per licensed outfitter. OCs are largely (but not always) defined by groupings of Game Management Areas. There are several areas within the Yukon (exclusive of National Parks) which are not covered by OCs.

These areas are shown in orange on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Trapping Concessions

This layer displays registered trapping concessions (RTCs). They are legal boundaries that define an area where the holder of the concession has the exclusive right to trap furbearing animals. Because trapping is done primarily along waterways, RTCs are often defined by watersheds, using height of land (ridges and mountain peaks) as their boundaries. This is the opposite of GMAs which are defined by mountains. Sometimes RTCs are grouped together to form a Group Trapping Concession (in which groups of individual share the right to trap). This may or may not involve the elimination of the component RTC boundaries. The Yukon has 360 RTCs and 13 Group Trapping Concessions. Only Kluane National Park, Kluane Wildlife Sanctuary, and Ddhaw Ghro Habitat Protection are are not covered by RTCs.

These areas are shown in yellow on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Off-road Vehicle Restrictions

ORV management areas are designate areas where off-road vehicle use is managed for the protection of ecological balance or physical characteristics within the area, including on mineral claims and in territorial parks. Off-road vehicle management areas can result from recommendations coming out of public planning processes, such as regional land-use planning, local area planning and special management areas such as Habitat Protection areas or parks. Governments and other groups, such as the Fish and Wildlife Management Boards and Renewable Resource Councils can submit a proposal that identifies ecologically-sensitive areas that off-road vehicle management areas could protect. This layer should be used in conjunction with the ORV Trail Plans that shows trails found within these boundaries.

These areas are shown in pink on the map, and are built into the app. They can be used even without cell coverage.

Off-road Vehicle Plans

This layer contains dashed line segments representing off road vehicle (ORV) trail plans. It shows the trails within the off-road vehicle management area or part of the off-road vehicle management area for which a trail plan is developed, on which an off-road vehicle may be used. There are labels describing whether an ORV is permitted, prohibited, or prohibited except where designated by an approved Off Road Management Area Trail Plan.

These areas are shown as pink dashed lines on the map, and are not built into the app. Each time a new area of the map is viewed, or a new zoom level is looked at, that portion of the layer needs to be downloaded (requiring cell or Wifi service). Once downloaded, those tiles are cached on device for future offline use.

Forestry Roads

This layer contains road segments that are the linear geometry of the road. It consists of forest resource roads (FRR) that are actively used for accessing forest resources. These roads do not represent a complete road network, they should be viewed in conjunction with the Roads Network layer. Many FRRs are gated with controlled access. There are four categories of roads in the dataset: Forest Resource Roads (act); Forest Resource Access (non-act), Public Access (non-act) and auxiliary roadsroads.

These areas are shown as green dashed lines on the map, and are not built into the app. Each time a new area of the map is viewed, or a new zoom level is looked at, that portion of the layer needs to be downloaded (requiring cell or Wifi service). Once downloaded, those tiles are cached on device for future offline use.

Yukon Road Network

The Yukon Road Network is the authoritative source of road data for Yukon. This dataset represents road centrelines for road features administered by Government of Yukon. Road features not administered by Government of Yukon are supplied by Canvec Road Network.

These areas are shown as navy blue dashed lines on the map, and are not built into the app. Each time a new area of the map is viewed, or a new zoom level is looked at, that portion of the layer needs to be downloaded (requiring cell or Wifi service). Once downloaded, those tiles are cached on device for future offline use.

Trails

The Yukon Trail network displays transportation features including limited-use roads, cutlines, and trails.

These areas are shown as grey dashed lines on the map, and are not built into the app. Each time a new area of the map is viewed, or a new zoom level is looked at, that portion of the layer needs to be downloaded (requiring cell or Wifi service). Once downloaded, those tiles are cached on device for future offline use.
