Maine Puts Out Map on Remote, State-Owned Lands

January 10, 2011 - AUGUSTA — Maine's Bureau of Parks and Lands is putting out a new map that focuses on the state's public reserved lands.

The map, "Your Maine Lands: Recreational Map and Guide to Public Reserved Lands," is a comprehensive guide to the hundreds of thousands of acres of public reserved lands across Maine.

Public reserved lands are remote and unstaffed state-owned lands that are managed for a number of purposes, including recreation, wildlife and timber harvesting. The Bureau of Public Lands owns more than 500,000 acres of the lands, mostly in western, northern and eastern Maine.

Funded through a grant from the Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund, the map can be obtained through the bureau's website. http://www.maine.gov/doc/
