Land Status maps: These maps outline who controls a particular piece of land, whether it's the State of New Mexico, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Military, a Native American tribe, or a private land owner.

Paleontologists must have a permit or permission from the land owner in order to collect fossils.
