Planning a hunt near Woodland Park? A useful Stanton County hunting map combines two sources: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. This county guide covers: state sources for public ground, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way around Elkhorn River.
The Stanton County hunting map: start here
For a tract near Woodland Park, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission publishes the public-land maps, including wildlife management areas and other access programs where they exist.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Stanton County Beacon site; it maps each assessed parcel in the county, Pilger included. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, whether the land is near Pilger or elsewhere in the county. For a parcel near Woodland Park, save the parcel ID while you have it open; every records desk in the county will want it.
Field tips
