Public Access Land
Over 220,000 parcels of publicly accessible land from the USGS Protected Areas Database. Includes federal (Forest Service, BLM, NPS, USFWS), state WMAs, and county/local parks. Green = open, yellow = restricted, red = closed.
Critical Habitat
803 areas designated under the Endangered Species Act. Click any area to see which species it protects, its listing status, and which agency leads recovery. Data from USFWS.
Wildlife Refuges
1,085 refuges covering 150+ million acres. Managed by USFWS for conservation. Most are open to hunting and fishing. Click any refuge for its name, type, and acreage.
Waterfowl Flyways
Four ancient migration corridors: Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific. These aerial highways connect Arctic breeding grounds to southern wintering areas.
Hunt Units
2,279 hunting opportunities on National Wildlife Refuge System lands for 2024–25. Each unit has specific seasons, methods, and species. Click for details.
State Wildlife Areas
State-managed Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) open to public hunting. This layer shows a regional sample (West Gulf Coastal Plain states: TX, AR, LA, OK) — no free national WMA vector service exists, so state agencies publish their own. Click any area for its name, state, and managing agency.
Wetlands (NWI)
National Wetlands Inventory from USFWS — the nation's most complete map of wetlands and deepwater habitats. Essential for waterfowl hunters scouting marshes, potholes, and bottomlands. Appears when you zoom in (scale 1:100,000 or closer).
Ecoregions
EPA Level III ecoregions — broad landscape zones defined by climate, geology, soils, and vegetation. Useful for understanding the habitat character of a region before you hunt it.
Data: USGS PADUS v3.0, USFWS via ArcGIS REST, USFWS National Wetlands Inventory, EPA Level III Ecoregions. Basemap: Esri World Imagery. Public land and wetlands render as server-side tiles (instant). Wildlife layers load as vector data on demand.
