Other Land Status Resources


The Land Mapper provides basic land status information for the National Wildlife Refuges within Alaska. You may however, need additional details or land status information for areas outside of the Refuges. To meet these needs, the following other sources of information are provided.






When working with the land status in the Mapper, it may be possible that you will need to gather additional information about a particular parcel, or parcels. For example,  you may need to know what rights, if any, have been reserved to the U.S. and which rights were transferred to the owner. Some of this information is contained in the Land Mapper, but you may need more details than the Mapper can provide. In situations such as this, you can use the resources available on the websites of the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Office and the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources. The following resources are available:


Interim Conveyance documents

Tentative Approval documents
