Public and Private Forest Ownership Conterminous United States 2009 - For national/regional scale analysis (Image Service)

Published by U.S. Forest Service | Department of Agriculture | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 05:01 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 28, 2025
This data product contains raster data depicting the spatial distribution of forest ownership types in the conterminous United States circa 2009. The data are a modeled representation of forest land by ownership type, and include three types of public ownership: federal, state, and local, as well as three types of private ownership: family (includes individuals and families), corporate, and other private (includes conservation and natural resource organizations, unincorporated partnerships and associations, and Native American tribal lands).The data are designed for strategic analyses at a national or regional scale which require spatially explicit information regarding the extent, distribution, and prevalence of the ownership types represented. The data are not recommended for tactical analyses on a sub-regional scale, or for informing local management decisions. Furthermore, map accuracies vary considerably and thus the utility of these data can vary geographically under different ownership patterns.
