Features & Capabilities

US Public Lands is an offline, map-based tool displaying boundaries for U.S. public lands across federal agencies. It uses on-device, color-coded map layers for BLM, FS, NPS, DoD, and more, so you can explore without internet.

Key features include selectable layers with color-coded toggles, links to each agency's site for further research, offline base maps, GPS location, and a built-in search (internet required). Data is sourced from the PAD-US database of the U.S. Geological Survey; boundaries may vary and some areas may be unmapped.

User Reviews

The app provides a quick public-land overview and useful boondocking opportunities, with an improved overlay. However, recurring issues include inaccurate boundaries, unclear overlays, limited land details, no easy coordinate sharing or export, and uneven regional data plus occasional subscription problems.

Pros

Provides a quick general view of public lands for boondocking and camping.
The land-type overlay has improved and helps differentiate land categories.
Helpful for cross-referencing satellite imagery to locate camping spots.
Popular with long-time users and RVers for simple, practical planning.

Cons

Boundary data is often inaccurate, with private land shown as public.
Overlay visuals are hard to read due to fuzzy borders and confusing colors.
Lacks essential land information (names, ownership, management, access) and no easy tap-to-view details.
No easy way to copy coordinates, share locations, or sync favorites across devices.
Data coverage varies by region and there are subscription/billing issues reported.

I’m new to dispersed camping and used US public lands to find national forest land to camp on. A few hours into camping, the owners of the land show up and tell me it is private property. Later, I check the my camping location on 2 other apps (onX offroad and regrid). Those other apps show me the CORRECT BORDER and that I am in fact on private land. This app is trash, DO NOT USE IT.

You can’t copy the latitude-longitude of a spot you’re interested in to paste into Google maps. This is extremely inconvenient. It really only works for checking if you are, in fact, on public land already and is of little help finding where to go.

This app will present you with a map that outlines public lands, assuming that you can figure out which shade of color or very limited symbology a particular spot may correlate with. It does little or nothing to provide even the most basic information on what the public land shown on the map is (name, etc.), let alone whether there is any access to it. I have rarely found it useful as a result.
