The Clear Creek County hunting map: start here
For land near Downieville-Lawson-Dumont, public hunting areas are mapped by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, along with seasons and regulations.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Clear Creek County parcel viewer; it maps every assessed parcel from Echo Hills to Roosevelt National Forest. When a rural tract has no street number, follow the nearest road on the aerial and select the outline, and that holds around Idaho Springs too. With a lot near Echo Hills, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
How land is described here
Colorado is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Downieville-Lawson-Dumont is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Empire odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Idaho Springs when you talk to a surveyor.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners for a parcel near Idaho Springs. If you're looking near Empire, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Being a good guest
Respect livestock and crops around Georgetown, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.
Land on the county line
The county meets Gilpin County, Grand County, Jefferson County, Park County, and Summit County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map around Silver Plume. Acreage along the edge near Echo Hills may show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. In and around Georgetown, the Platbookmapper state page links every bordering county map for Colorado.
