Hey fellow LoJ'ers:

I should know this by now, but don't, hence the "dumb question" in my title. Q: On the drop-down maps on the site, which map and which color on that map designates public/BLM land? CalTopo? I'm pondering an overnight recon trip of a peak and want to car camp near the base on public land. Not fun to drive for hours, then have to scramble at dusk for a new camp spot when my intended site isn't available. Can someone chime in? Many thanks in advance,

-Tom

Hi Tom,
It's not in the map choice drop-down. You can choose any of those maps. Down at the bottom right corner of an LoJ Full Screen Map is a box with "Add Land Mgt" as a clickable link. That will overlay the public lands layer on top of any of the map types. Once you have that layer on, there is a color-coded legend near the bottom left of the screen. Orange is BLM, green is USFS, gray is NPS, blue is some form of state land, etc.

Perfect, Teresa! That answers my question, thanks, hope you're well.
