This layer shows private lands parcels on which a public agency or qualified Land Trust has placed a Conservation Easement in cooperation with the land owner. According to State Law (Montana Code Annotated 76-6-207) easements must be recorded in the county where the land lies. The county clerk and recorder shall provide a copy of the conservation easement to the Department of Revenue office in that county within 30 days. The Montana Department of Revenue updates this dataset typically once a month.
Map features in this data set are not intended as a legal depiction of public or private surface land ownership boundaries and should not be used in place of a survey conducted by a licensed land surveyor. The data are derived from the Montana Cadastral parcel layer.This data set is a work in progress; it contains errors of omission and errors in current attributes.
Please note that this dataset contains information on surface status only. The dataset contains no information about ownership or status of the mineral estate.20240304publication dateContinually-116.1-103.949.144.4ISO 19115 Topic CategoryboundariesenvironmentplanningCadastreconservation easementeasementsplanningCadastreboundariesstewardshipMontanaNoneThe Montana State Library Geographic Information Services provides this product/service for informational purposes only.

Data are updated as information becomes available. Delays between changes in land status and their inclusion in this layer can vary from a few weeks to over a year depending on the source of the information.The Conservation Easement Data is based on the Bureau of Land Management's Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB). The BLM collects the GCDB Public Lands Survey System data on a township basis. The survey boundaries are delineated by computing the geographic positions of township, section, aliquot part, government lot, and special survey corners. Horizontal control positions from published sources and geographic positioning system (GPS) observations are added and the GCDB grid is adjusted using the least squares method of adjustment to determine the best geographic positions for the survey points.
Horizontal Accuracy varies throughout the data: Scale is dependent on the positional accuracy of the GCDB.Montana State LibraryMontana Cadastral Mapping ProjectHelena, MontanaMontana State LibraryConEasementUniqueIDEaseHolderUnknownUnknownUS GovernmentUS GovernmentUS Bureau of Land ManagementUS Bureau of Land ManagementUS Bureau of ReclamationUS Bureau of ReclamationUS Fish and Wildlife ServiceUS Fish and Wildlife ServiceNational Park ServiceNational Park ServiceUS Forest ServiceUS Forest ServiceUS Dept of AgricultureUS Dept of AgricultureUS Army Corps of EngineersUS Army Corps of EngineersUS Dept of DefenseUS Dept of DefenseState of MontanaState of MontanaMontana State Trust LandsMontana State Trust LandsMontana Fish, Wildlife, and ParksMontana Fish, Wildlife, and ParksMontana University SystemMontana University SystemMontana Dept of CorrectionsMontana Dept of CorrectionsMontana Dept of TransportationMontana Dept of TransportationMontana Dept of Natural Resources Water ProjectsMontana Dept of Natural Resources Water ProjectsLocal GovernmentLocal GovernmentCounty GovernmentCounty GovernmentCity GovernmentCity GovernmentBureau of Indian Affairs Trust LandBureau of Indian Affairs Trust LandBlackfeet Tribal LandsBlackfeet Tribal LandsCrow Tribal LandsCrow Tribal LandsSalish and Kootenai Tribal LandsSalish and Kootenai Tribal LandsFort Belknap Tribal LandsFort Belknap Tribal LandsFort Peck Tribal LandsFort Peck Tribal LandsNorthern Cheyenne Tribal LandsNorthern Cheyenne Tribal LandsChippewa-Cree Tribal LandsChippewa-Cree Tribal LandsTurtle Mountain Alloted LandsTurtle Mountain Alloted LandsPlum Creek Timber CompanyPlum Creek Timber CompanyPrivate Land TrustPrivate Land TrustThe Nature ConservancyThe Nature ConservancyMontana Land RelianceMontana Land RelianceRocky Mountain Elk FoundationRocky Mountain Elk FoundationDucks UnlimitedDucks UnlimitedBoone and Crockett ClubBoone and Crockett ClubFive Valleys Land TrustFive Valleys Land TrustFlathead Land TrustFlathead Land TrustGallatin Valley Land TrustGallatin Valley Land TrustPrickly Pear Land TrustPrickly Pear Land TrustBitter Root Land TrustBitter Root Land TrustBlackfeet Land TrustBlackfeet Land TrustMid-Yellowstone Land TrustMid-Yellowstone Land TrustVital Ground FoundationVital Ground FoundationThe Bighorn InstituteThe Bighorn InstituteNational Wildlife FederationNational Wildlife FederationRattlesnake Land TrustRattlesnake Land TrustClark Fork- Pend Oreille ConservancyClark Fork- Pend Oreille ConservancyMontana Conservation TrustMontana Conservation TrustHumane Society Wildlife Land TrustHumane Society Wildlife Land TrustThe Conservation FundThe Conservation FundMule Deer FoundationMule Deer FoundationAmerican Prairie FoundationAmerican Prairie FoundationKaniksu Land Trust, IncKaniksu Land Trust, IncInstitute of the RockiesInstitute of the RockiesAmerican Farmland TrustAmerican Farmland TrustEaseDateGISAcreageDateEnteredDeedRefMontana State Librarymailing address
