Layers for US Public Lands

[mattforester]

So I am looking for any KML files out there related to US Public lands
(BLM, FS, FWS, BIA, NPS and State) particularly for Colorado. If
anybody has some insight on where I could find something like this it
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Matt,

I'm not sure offhand of a KML where someone has aggregated all public
lands, but if you are up to the task you may have more luck locating
shapefiles or other GIS datasets of these layers, and then converting
them to KML yourself.

In the meantime, if you are just wanting to explore the boundaries of
various public lands yourself in Google Earth, note that it has a
Forest Service and National Parks layers available. Simply expand
"Places of Interest" and then "Parks and Recreation Areas" under the
main Layers section.

Cheers,

-Josh

I can't seem to find it now, but I do remember seeing a website at
some point that had GIS data from different government agencies
available for download in various formats (shapefile and KML
included). I will post it if I can find it. In the meantime, you can
try going directly to different agencies' websites - EPA, BLM, FWS,
USGS - to see what data they have available.
