Standing at a fence line trying to work out whether the far side is public, private, or leased is the single most common way a hunt goes wrong before it starts. Parcel data answers it — but the answer you get depends entirely on which state you are standing in, and that is not a product decision. It is fifty different laws.
What we actually carry
- 45 states, more than 120 million parcels
- Published as 9 regional offline archives — West, Midwest, Northeast, South, Pacific, Plains, Gulf, Mid-Atlantic, and Texas on its own
- Biggest single state: Texas, 14,336,277 parcels across 253 of its 254 counties (Donley County is missing from the state's own published data, so it is missing from ours). Then California at 13.1 million, Florida at 10.8 million.
- All of it works with no signal, because it downloads as data, not as pictures of a map.
A few states are partial by design, and the map says so on the parcel: Nevada is Clark and Washoe counties (88% of the state's parcels, in opposite corners), South Carolina is 25 of 46 counties, Iowa is 6 of 99, Arizona 14 of 15, New Mexico 20 of 33. We ship a county when its licence is clear, not when it is merely reachable.
Twenty-seven states come with a name on the parcel
Arizona, New Mexico, Georgia, Missouri, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, New York, Vermont, North Carolina, Tennessee, Minnesota, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Arkansas, Alaska, Connecticut, Mississippi, South Dakota, Texas, Michigan, Alabama, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
The useful number is not the list, it is how often the field is actually filled in, because that is what you will see in the field:
| State | Parcels with an owner name |
|---|---|
| North Carolina | 100% |
| Arkansas | 99.99% |
| Tennessee | 99.9% |
| New York | 99.5% |
| Florida | 99.1% |
| Massachusetts | 99.0% |
| Wisconsin | 98.3% |
| Texas | 97.2% |
| Montana | 96.0% |
| Colorado | 85.5% |
| Ohio | 82.8% |
| Minnesota | 78.0% |
"82.8%" means what it says: about one Ohio parcel in six has no owner recorded by the county upstream. When that happens you see a blank, not a guess. We would rather show you nothing than the wrong name.
Eighteen states are boundary-only, for four different reasons
This is the part that is fifty different laws.
1. A statute forbids it. Washington withholds owner information under RCW 84.08.210. Nevada bars making court-suppressed personal information available "in any other way" under NRS 250.130, which covers giving it away. New Jersey's owner field exists on all 3.5 million rows and is empty on every one of them, redacted at source under Daniel's Law, the statute protecting the home addresses of judges, officers and prosecutors. South Carolina's Code § 30-2-50 makes it a misdemeanor to use personal information from public records for commercial solicitation, with no real-property exemption, so we are not shipping names there until a lawyer says we can. None of these is a publishing choice, and we will not source the names elsewhere.
2. The agency never collected it, or stripped it before publishing. California has no owner field anywhere in its statewide schema. Idaho's field exists and is populated on zero of 1.16 million rows. Utah, Hawaii, Indiana and Pennsylvania publish boundaries without owners as a matter of policy. Nebraska publishes a deliberately owner-stripped version of its parcel product. Delaware's service describes itself as including ownership and does not. Maryland publishes a mailing address, not an owner.
3. It lives somewhere else. Virginia's statewide layer has six fields; the owner sits in roughly 130 separate per-locality databases with their own schemas. Oregon and Illinois are county patchworks where some counties publish an owner and many do not, so the map shows none rather than a field that is right in one county and blank in the next. Those are future projects, not gaps we are hiding.
4. We excluded it on purpose. North Dakota's parcel data has an
Ownership field that is supposed to be a nine-code classification. Some
counties stuffed owner names into it, truncated at fifteen characters. It would
have been trivial to ship those. We excluded the field entirely and wrote a
test that keeps it excluded, because a name chopped at fifteen characters is a
leak, not a feature. Iowa's six counties ship geometry-only for a similar
reason: the owner data available to us is old enough that showing it offline
would mean showing you a name that may be years out of date.
Owner name is not permission
The line that has to be in this post: knowing who owns it is not the same as being allowed to be on it. Leases, easements, walk-in and access programs, posted-land rules and safety zones are all separate from the deed. A parcel boundary tells you where to stop and who to ask. It does not answer for them. Ask. Every time.
Why we cannot give you the data itself
Our open data page publishes trail aggregates under ODbL — free to republish, per state and per county. Parcels and hunt units are not there, because the state and county sources that let us use them in the app do not let us hand them on, and several are restricted by statute. Being able to reach data is not the same as being allowed to redistribute it, which is the same rule that decides the eighteen states above.
How to check a parcel in the field
Turn on the Property Parcels layer, tap a parcel, and read the boundary plus whatever that state publishes with it — owner name where the state allows it, a link to the county record where one exists. Download the region before you leave signal; the parcel archive for your region is part of the offline pack.
Parcels are part of Trailmonger Pro. Offline maps, hunt units and the safety features are not — those are on the free tier. If you want to know what the unit lines look like on top of the parcels, that is the hunt units post.
State counts and owner availability are taken from the app's own coverage table, verified 2026-09-04. Parcel archives rebuild as states update; each archive's build date is on the data freshness page.
