GovBot Public Lands & Wildfire Perimeters

Read-only access to which agency manages the land surface at a location, the protected areas at or near a location or by name, and current wildland fire perimeters by state or near a location. No account or sign-in is required.

Sources

• U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management: national Surface Management Agency map service (federal surface managing agency, state, local and tribal lands).
• U.S. Geological Survey, Gap Analysis Project: Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US 4.1), published in the USGS ArcGIS Online organization.
• National Interagency Fire Center, Wildland Fire Interagency Geospatial Services: WFIGS Current Interagency Fire Perimeters.

Each result states the publishing agency, service, layer, data-edit date where published and retrieval time. Land records are held for up to ten minutes and fire records for up to two minutes to limit repeat requests.

• Protected areas containing or near a latitude and longitude: name, category, manager, designation type, GAP status, public access and acres.
• Protected areas by name, optionally within a state and category.

Scope and support

Land boundaries are agency map data, not legal surveys, title or ownership records. Wildfire perimeters are provisional and can be hours or days old; each record states its perimeter date. This service is not an evacuation, warning or emergency information source: evacuation orders and warnings come from local officials, county emergency management, local alert systems and the National Weather Service, and emergencies are reported to 911. GovBot is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Interagency Fire Center or any government agency.
