Public and Private Land Ownership Maps - Plains, Montana

Updated September 2016

These maps are produced by the Geographic Information Program of the Montana State Library from its Public Land Ownership database. The maps depict public land ownership and several categories of land management:
- Public Lands
- Conservation Easements (Note: conservation easements do not imply public access to any lands.)
- Managed Areas: This designation includes lands such as wildlife refuges, Research Natural Areas, wilderness, etc.

The Private Land Ownership maps are produced by Montana State Library staff in cooperation with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. These maps illustrate ownership of most contiguous private land, owned by the same party, when that tract of land is 40 acres or greater. Private land tracts less than 40 acres are not illustrated.
Ownership of these larger tracts of contiguous land is indicated by a numeric label on the map. You can look up the owner of a large tract using the Private Land List. The Private Land List ties the numeric labels on the map to the party who owns the land.
