FWS MAPLand Access Easement

The MAPLand Act requires agencies to define a GIS transfer spatial data layer depicting access easements to federal land. The MAPLand Act Easement Areas layer depicts areas that represents federal interests in non-federal land, also known as easements, that may be used to provide public recreational access that are granted to, or reserved and managed by the following agencies: BLM, NPS, FWS, USBR, USACE and FS. The intent of a public access easement is to allow for ingress and egress for the general public to utilize or travel through a piece of property to access federal interests on non-federal land or to allow for the public to travel through non-federal land to reach adjacent public land.《MAPLand法案》（MAPLand Act）要求各机构定义一个用于描绘联邦土地通行地役权的地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）传输空间数据图层。《MAPLand法案地役权区域》图层描绘了非联邦土地上代表联邦权益的区域（即地役权区域），此类区域可用于提供公共休闲通行权限，该权限由以下机构授予、保留或管理：美国土地管理局（BLM）、美国国家公园管理局（NPS）、美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（FWS）、美国垦务局（USBR）、美国陆军工程兵团（USACE）及美国林务局（FS）。公共通行地役权的设立初衷，是允许普通公众通过某一地块，以利用或通行至非联邦土地上的联邦权益区域；或是允许公众通过非联邦土地，抵达相邻的公共土地。
