Every Colorado hunting place on one map

Each pin sits at the centre of a place, or at a point inside it when the centre falls outside the boundary. Large forests and BLM offices get one pin each, so zoom in on the place page for nearby parcels. Ranger districts share their forest pin and are not plotted again.

Points from lands.json (CPW Managed Properties layer, COMaP federal polygons, FWS Interest, NPS boundaries, DoD MIRTA) Checked November 5, 2026.

What the Colorado map pins show

Pins by kind. Programs with scattered or private parcels (Walk-In Access, Ranching for Wildlife, the Bighorn Sheep Access Program and the statewide STL and BLM records) have no single point and are not on the map.

Reading the Colorado land map

A trust land pin marks the centre of the parcel polygon, so it is only a starting point: load the CPW STL boundary layer or the CPW Hunting Atlas before you drive. SWA pins sit at the centre of the largest parcel of the property. National forest and BLM pins are placed on federal land inside the unit boundary, not on private inholdings. Closed places are not pinned. The public land hub lists all of them with the reason and the agency source.
