RE: public land
If your looking for more public or state land in and around your area , get your self a Atlas & Gazetteer for your state.
It' a large paper back book pubished by DeLorme ( the map people ) , it has detailed maps of every county for the entire state.
This map book also has a list of parks , forest / wilderness areas , campgrounds and just about everything else.
I use one for my sate and in my opinion it a very resourceful tool for every hunter.
