PLOTS Maps Online

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Private Land Open To Sportsmen maps for 2026 are available online at the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov.

This year features about 925,000 PLOTS acres. Because PLOTS tracts can be added or removed from the program throughout the year, hunters are encouraged to use the Game and Fish mobile app or other mapping and browser-based applications to locate and identify these tracts. Map sheets are updated weekly on the department’s website.

PLOTS maps highlight walk-in hunting access areas, identified in the field by inverted triangular yellow signs, as well as other public lands.

The free printed PLOTS guides will be available in late August at most license vendors and other locations throughout the state.

The guides are not available by mail, so hunters will have to pick one up at a local vendor or Game and Fish office, or print individual maps from the website.
