- Current land ownership and the exact parcel or managed activity footprint.
- Posted closures, seasonal restrictions, opening hours, fees and permit requirements.
- Mining claims, mineral rights, private-property boundaries and road or trail access.

Is a map pin the same as collecting permission?
No. A map pin answers a navigation or geographic-context question. The status and evidence answer the permission question. Exact coordinates, public destination addresses and approximate county or regional context are deliberately kept separate so geographic precision is not confused with legal authority.
