About

Montana state lands aggregated from two complementary hosts. Trust-lands data lives on the DNRC AGOL tenant (services2.arcgis.com, the same tenant the mt-bogc connector uses for BOG_Wells and MMB Active O&G Lease): Trust_Lands_Surface_Tracts/1 (~13,907 trust-lands tracts with 16 distinct GrantID land-grant codes: CS Common Schools 10,863 dominant, 09021 Public Buildings 973, CB Capital Building 777, PH Public Highways 289, SNS State Normal School 262, MT 206, ACI 193, ACB 93, DB 90, 08026 Hospitals 61, UM University of Montana 47, PB 25, 09000 5, SH 5, SRS 1; 18 distinct Unit office codes ANA Anaconda / BIL Billings / BOZ Bozeman / CLW Clearwater / CON Conrad / DIL Dillon / GLA Glasgow / HAM Hamilton / HEL Helena / KAL Kalispell / LEW Lewistown / LIB Libby / MIL Miles City / MSO Missoula / PLN Plains / STW Stevensville / SWN Swan; PLSS string column "15N 14W 36"); Trust_Lands_Lease_Lots/1 (~657 lease lots with LeaseStatus 4 distinct values Active 581 / Terminated 42 / NBL 7 / Pending 3, LeaseType 13 codes RES 486 / COMM 56 / RULIND 27 / COMSIT 22 / DEVREC 15 / COMFAC 7 / RULCOM 7 / RESACC 6 / GOVERN 6 / HYDRO 5 / CON 5 / IND 4 / INST 1, 6 LandOffice codes CLO/ELO/NELO/NWLO/SLO/SWLO). Easements and managed areas live on MT State Library MSDI (gisservicemt.gov/MSDI_Framework): ConservationEasements/0 (~2,769 easements with EaseHolder 25+ distinct top values Montana Land Reliance 1117 / US Fish and Wildlife Service 396 / The Nature Conservancy 267 / Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks 212 / Five Valleys Land Trust 179 / Gallatin Valley Land Trust 126 / Flathead Land Trust 85 / US Dept of Agriculture 83 / Bitter Root Land Trust 59 / US Forest Service 47 / Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation 47; EaseDate epoch-ms; GISAcreage); ManagedAreas/0 (~1,531 managed areas with 200+ distinct UNITTYPE values across 5 INSTTYPE Federal/State/Local/Private/Tribal; top categories Fishing Access Site 334 (MT FWP 7 admin regions), Recreation Area 254, Inventoried Roadless Area 235 (USFS), Research Natural Area 83, State Park 75 (MT FWP), Special Interest Area 74, Wildlife Management Area 71, National Scenic/Historic Trail 47, Wilderness Study Area 46, ACEC 42, Ranger District 39, Waterfowl Production Area 24, National Wildlife Refuge 21, Wilderness Area 19, Fee Mgmt Unit 16, Trust Lands 15, National Forest 8, State Forest 7). Section 0 surprises: content is split across two hosts, which the handler aggregates transparently. None of the 4 layers has a county column, so use bbox/near or PLSS Township/Range for county filtering. The Trust Lands FeatureServer is layer 1 (not 0). Trust_Lands_Lease_Lots LeaseType values are 4-character codes (RES residential, COMM commercial, RULIND rural industrial, COMSIT commercial site, DEVREC developed recreation, COMFAC commercial facility, RULCOM rural commercial, RESACC residential access, GOVERN government, HYDRO hydropower, CON conservation, IND industrial, INST institutional). The MT MSL aggregator at gisservicemt.gov has folders [MSDI_Framework, MSL, SHPO, Utilities]; only MSDI_Framework has functional content (MSL is imagery/basemap). Trust Lands native CRS is EPSG:32100 (MT State Plane); MSDI Conservation Easements / Managed Areas native EPSG:102100, and the handler requests outSR=4326 on both. mt-bogc covers BOGC wells plus MMB active O&G leases on the same DNRC tenant; this connector covers everything else.
