Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it. The river miles are how far this river's drawn axis runs inside each block, measured here; the acreage is the whole unit's, most of which is nowhere near this water. "Restricted access" and "access unrecorded" are PAD-US's own words for the block, and neither one means open — check before you park.
