@davoh It’s for my latest digital history project / book in progress! I have a version of it online already, but I have some new points of data I’m adding to it pretty soon.

Public lands are the obvious one, but there’s also easements , scenic areas, and other federal conservation efforts elsewhere especially on the Plains (which is the focus of my book).
