Planning a hunt in New Mexico

New Mexico’s official hunting maps help connect a plan with its hunt area. Keep the unit information separate from land status and access permissions, especially where several ownership categories meet.

Check the entire approach, not just the destination polygon. If your route involves a state, federal, tribal or private holding, confirm the applicable access arrangements with that manager or owner. Save the relevant official map and current hunting information with your parking pin so the route can be reviewed again before travel.

Check the property and the route

Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.

Use with Free Hunting Map

Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.

View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
