#### Definition

The Federal and State Lands Overlay describes areas within a country's territory that are owned or managed by federal or individual state governments. It also contains boundaries of land managed by county and municipal governments where available. These lands are often categorized based on jurisdiction and are subject to distinct regulatory frameworks. Federally owned lands fall under the authority of the national government, encompassing national parks, forests and wildlife reserves. State lands, on the other hand, are under the jurisdiction of individual states, and their use and management are governed by state-specific policies.
