Who owns the land

State land: Columbia Plateau Trail

PAD-US places this spot on Columbia Plateau Trail, land managed by the state park agency. PAD-US marks it as open to the public. Park rules, fees and seasonal closures can still apply. Another parcel starts within a quarter mile: Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. Ruins often spread across more than one owner.

The point is the town location from Wikidata, and the land record is from PAD-US 3.0 (USGS). Ruins can spread past that point, and land changes hands faster than the database. How we read PAD-US.
