My guess is that it is a composite developed from the GIS databases of the various agencies.  If I were doing it, I would send a Freedom of Information request for the data to the agencies and then compile it onto one display map.  That would be much faster and easier to do than try to get zip code level data, which was accurate.]]></description>

Well, since the western states, acknowledged Federal ownership of Lands within their state, and agreed to ever challenge that ownership as a condition of statehood, teh western states have no legal standing to challenge.  

And, while the Constitution makes no mention of any federal agency managing the lands, it does acknowledge the right of Congress to manage.  So, establishing agencies within the executive, and designating management of resources of the United States, to those agencies is entirely within the powers given to Congress.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Kelley, Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution has long been held up as the explicit provision by which all federal lands are held. This has been settled law in the U.S. since the second constitutional convention. The founders debated and included this clause with the explicit goal of allowing the federal government to retain control over lands. The U.S. Supreme Court has confirmed this fact on several occasions. Whether or not you personally agree with it, it&#039;s one of our country&#039;s most well-established laws.]]></description>
