About US Public Lands APK
Table Of Contents
Description
The US Federal Government* owns nearly 650 million acres of land - almost 30 percent of the land area of the United States.These are lands that are held for all Americans.
Up until now, there has been no quick & easy way to retrieve the boundaries of these properties without carrying physical maps, books, or slowly digging deep online.
Included in this app are on device (fully works offline), individually selectable & beautifully colored layers for most of the properties administered by the federal government:
- Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
- US Forest Service (FS)
- National Park Service (NPS)
- Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE)
- US Fish & Wildlife Service
- Bureau of Reclamation
- Tennessee Valley Authority
- Department of Defense (military bases & installations)
- Other (National Laboratories, Test Sites, etc...)
Key Benefits & Features
- Know which US agency owns and operates the land you're on or are heading to. Use the "Layers" icon to select which agencies you want displayed to create your own custom map. (Hint, the toggles are color coded to the color each layer is displayed in.)
- Links are provided to each agency's website within the app, so that you can further your research as to what land use rules apply for each public land type - such as permits, fees, activities allowed, and limits of stay.
- Map layers are stored on device - no internet connection required.
- Be sure to turn on the 'Basic' base map to see the US Public Land labels for each land area. This base map layer is also stored entirely on your device, and can be utilized if you do not have an internet connection or would like to conserve bandwidth.
- If you have an internet connection, you can utilize standard and satellite view maps as well as the base layer underneath the public land overlays.
- A boondocker's assistant - While US Public Lands is not specifically a camp site locator and does not have a database of specific sites, by turning on the satellite view map, you can better scout out trails, roads and signs of dispersed camping locations within the boundaries of the public land resources.
- Quickly toggle between 'Show' and 'Hide' via the "Map" icon to more clearly see satellite images below.
- If you have GPS access on your device, click the 'Locate Me' icon to show your present location - know what type of land you're on right now!
- Built in search tool locates anything on device maps supports (requires internet access) - including cities, states, zip codes, addresses and points of interest. A pin is dropped at the search location.
*The maps included in this app were generated from data provided by the Protected Area Database (PAD-US) of the U.S. Geological Survey* (https://www.usgs.gov/programs/gap-analysis-project/science/pad-us-data-overview). We would like to thank them for providing the public domain raw map data that we’ve been able to utilize to create this interactive overlayable mapping & navigation tool. We will update our maps in the future to stay in sync with improvements to this data set.
Two Steps Beyond is not affiliated with, and does not represent, the USGS or any other US Government Agency.
Please note, the USGS PAD-US database contains the “most up-to-date aggregation of Federal lands and waters” available, but this database is still evolving and some locations may not be listed and others may not have precisely accurate boundaries. Resolution across the nation may vary. And always remember - there may be private unmapped inholdings within any public lands - so always pay attention to local signage, indications, and information.
The US Public Lands app should only be used as an overview, and you should always confirm more precise details by consulting local field offices, administration websites, and other resources. Do not solely rely on this app for determining if you are on public or private land.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★I can't see anything but a white screen. Searching does nothing. Layers do nothing. Clearing the cache and app data and restarting does nothing. This is useless. Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 SM-T235Y.
1 ★Help! I just downloaded this app and the search feature doesn't work and I can't find where to have it follow you real time
5 ★My wife and I love the app. You should add Indian Reservation lands, it would have been a huge help to my wife and I recently.
1 ★Neat app but very inaccurate! Don't depend on this app it will miss lead you!
3 ★I read all the bad reviews but decided to buy it anyway. I can't fully test it yet because my reception is so poor. I'll update my review after I've used it for awhile.
5 ★Must have app for android.
5 ★Got me into BLM land for a great weekend camp.
2 ★At 50mb there darn well better be some offline maps since the layers are simple polygons with NO associated info. Yep, NO info if you are offline. BUT If you like semi-transparent overlays to your maps with little to no information about them then this is a good app for you. You will most likely need a supplemental app to get any camping information and oops, that one may need connectivity as well to get the info. Oh, and if you use this app for what it was intended, there is a VERY good chance there won't be that connectivity. Eye candy at best and sugar free ie; Nothing to see here, move along. 2 stars only because it actually functions. Where's the refund queue?
5 ★Just in time for our next RV summer on the road. I especially like that the maps are offline.
5 ★Love that it works with Google maps!
5 ★We are looking forward to putting this to good use. Heading out may 2014
5 ★Looks very nice.
