About the data… This data set represents the boundaries of lands managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The Wisconsin DNR manages these lands through ownership, easement or lease rights. This data set is a spatial representation of the Oracle Land Records System maintained by the DNR, Bureau of Facilities and Lands (LF), and may include errors and/or omissions. Updates to this data set are ongoing, and will be incorporated into future versions when administratively feasible and practicable.
As a bonus to you GIS data hounds… The "extract" tool allows you to locate an area of interest, and then download a ESRI Shapefile for that area.
