jbensnen i sent what i thought was the address for the shapefiles for montana, in a private message from here, your wyo ownership is exactly what I was looking for! going to go to blm here in oregon to see if someone knows how/where to download shapefiles here, will let you know.

I will look at your suggestions, I am in Oregon so would want ownership there, also Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho,... only had time to read replies, will be back tonight (PST). thanks for your help so far...

is there a tutorial available to overlay property ownership, color coded as on the BLM paper maps , onto to topo maps I have downloaded from this site? want to know where I am when in the woods, either N.F.,state lands, blm, or private.
thank you,
Skookm

I got mapsource to work , I had to go to the "view" tab then "switch to product"  I can't believe how simple it actually was, your tutorials are great, if I can use them with success, even when I try to botch it, they are great!
thanks again,

Ok, i'm new here, I am having the exact problems with mapsource, I can see the map,( in this case it is the Oregon topo i downloaded here mt77_or.)  under Utilities>manage map products. but it is not loaded under "Maps" tab.
I have two mapsource Icons on my computer after I downloaded mapsource with the tutorial from here and the oregon topo, mt77_or. of the two mapsource icons,one looks like an open box with stuff coming out titled Mapsource_6163, and the other is from downloading the oregon topo, it is titled mapsource and looks like a CD with NSIS across the top quarter, and a blue and gold checkered shield bottom right, when I open the latter the mapsource installer looks just like the pictures in the tutorial, I follow the directions and never get anywhere, do I need to change the destination when it asks me in the installer, i assumed it was auto.
I saw that previous guy got it to work with basemap but wanted to get it done with mapsource, please help!
