RE: theres a thread for AK, how about one for CA!!
I know you can get BLM maps from the BLM department that are supposed to show BLM properties in different counties. They'll let you look at the maps first to see if it's what you want before you ahve to pay for it. There are also computer programs out there which show public land but those can be kinda pricey.
