However, DeLorme has not updated the data to conform to BLM maps since the software was issued in 2010.

Common land ownership categories are: private, Indian Land or Reservation, National Forest (Admin by USFS), Public land administered by the BLM, National Wildlife Refuge & Management Areas, National Parks/Monuments, and New Mexico State Land. BLM maps indicate the type of owner or administrator of a parcel of land.

Land ownership is important to know for existing hikes and for planning new hikes.
