This mapping application features the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US), published by the U.S. Geological Survey's Gap Analysis Project. PAD-US includes open space lands owned in fee by public agencies or nonprofits, and is developed with national and state-by-state datasets. Some states have complete data at the state and local level, but many do not, particularly at the local level.
