Land Status Legends
Shown below are the legends for the various land status layers in the Land Mapper.
Because of the number of land status layers and categories of status, it is not possible to give each layer and category its own distinct color. Thus, the surface and subsurface layers use the same colors for the categories. When working with the Land Mapper, it is advisable to work with the surface and subsurface layers independently. For example, if you are working with the surface layers, be sure to turn off the subsurface layers in the Map Layers list. Conversely, if dealing with the subsurface estate, turn off the surface layers.
