color:blue'>I just came across this. The Arizona State Land Department (which
owns what are generally referred to as the “State Trust Lands”) now
has an interactive map (</span></font><b><span style='font-weight:bold'><a

in on an area of interest just by dragging a square with your mouse on the
state map, and it will zoom in. Anything you see in light blue is State Trust
Land.</span></font></p>

color:blue'>Since we’ve had some new folks here recently, let me mention why
being able to identify State Trust Land is important. It’s important
because if you’re on State Trust Land, even on foot, you need a permit. The
permit is $15 a year for individuals, $20 for families. The fine for being on
State Trust Land without a permit is $500. You can download the permit application
from </span></font><b><span style='font-weight:bold'><a

color:blue'>State Trust Land is not “Public Land”. It was deeded to
the State Land Department by the United States Congress when Arizona became a
state. Legally it is considered private property. (See Article 10 of the
Arizona State Constitution.) However, if you play on State Trust Land with a
permit and by their rules (which are on the application page), the State Land
Department has no objection to geocaching.</span></font></p>
