I've been struggling with this for roads. Unfortunately on the
ground survey is the best. There are a few cases where property
owners have put up illegal, or very misleading signs. The motor
vehicle use map (MVUM) is helpful, but usually not accurate outside
NF boundary, but maybe good for a small inholding. I've come up to
private no trespassing signs many places on my rides. Some
counties have official maps (Ouray, CO), but I think most do not.
This reminds me that I need to prod my own county again, I asked
them for clarification on some roads which are shown as county roads
on the county assessors map, but posted no trespassing. <br>
The national map viewer, and the BLM map viewer are not very good.
I think they may have the same data that was imported into OSM with
the tiger import.<br>

<div>Thanks again. On the ground survey shows nothing more than
an official looking USFS TH sign/board. There are no signs
indicating one is crossing private property, nor are there
signs indicating one must stay on the trail. After about a
half mile of hiking one does come to several of those yellow
property boundary signs. County level data does show the
initial part of the trail to be on private property. Just
curious as in other cases landowners have posted "no
trespassing" signs blocking trails.</div>
