Welcome to the USFWS Region 7 Land Mapper

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Region 7 (Alaska) Land Mapper is a web-based, near-real-time view of the Region 7 - Division of Realty land status GIS database. This database depicts the surface estate and subsurface estate ownership status within the sixteen National Wildlife Refuges within the State of Alaska.

Please take some time to review the various Help topics. Of particular importance is an understanding of the land ownership information (refer to the Land Status topic).

If you are unfamiliar with datums and coordinate systems, the coordinate systems and datums topic gives a brief introduction to these important concepts.

If you're like most people and just want to get your work done without spending hours or days wading through technical details, see the Using the Tools and Browse Map Features topics. These provide a quick way to get up-to-speed on using the Land Mapper to accomplish your tasks.
