Know the Ground: Explore the Land Info Data Sheet

A promising spot on the map is just the beginning. Before you plan a scouting trip or choose your next hunting location, you want to understand the ground: who owns it, what access looks like, and what the surrounding landscape can tell you. The Land Info data sheet in Spartan Forge brings those details together, right where you’re already exploring.

With map layers active, tap anywhere on the map to open the sheet. From there, switch between Overview and Active Layers to explore property information and the available layer data for that location. Whether you’re checking familiar ground or researching somewhere new, it gives you a practical starting point for your next decision.

The Overview tab starts with the basics: coordinates, elevation, and distance to the selected location. Copy coordinates when you need to reference an exact spot, or use the information to put a potential destination in context as you scout from home or explore in the field.

Available land information changes with the property you select. Public land details can include acreage, owner, managing agency, and land category. Private land details can include acreage, owner name, mailing address, and tax address. When land ownership is unknown, the sheet still provides location information and quick actions so you can continue exploring.

For private properties, you can also manage your access records directly from the sheet. Mark a property as No Access, Conditional, or Permitted to keep your access status connected to the land itself. Add notes and photos to capture useful details, such as a landowner conversation, access conditions, or a gate location. When you return to that property on the map, those records help you pick up where you left off.

A Possible Access section brings together available information about access programs. Details can include the program name, property owner, manager, use category, valid dates, and acreage, along with a link to access regulations. Having those details together helps you identify opportunities and review the requirements that apply to the area you’re considering.

Switch to Active Layers to look more closely at the landscape. Depending on the layers enabled and the data available at your selected location, you can review hunt unit information and regulation links, timber harvest details, fire history, agricultural crops, waterways, and trails.

These details add context to what you see on the map. A timber cut’s completion year, a recorded crop type, or a trail’s classification can help shape the questions you bring into your next scouting trip. Instead of interpreting a layer from its appearance alone, you can open the sheet and explore the information behind it.

When you’re ready to take the next step, Drive To, Add Pin, and Share are available directly from the sheet. Save a location for later, share it with a hunting partner, or start planning your drive.

The Land Info data sheet makes map exploration more useful with every tap. Turn on your layers, choose a location, and bring property details, access records, and landscape information into your next hunt plan.
