Planning a hunt near Maza? The Towner County hunting map is really two maps: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. In this Towner County guide: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission.
Building your Towner County hunting map
If the land is near Hansboro, public hunting areas are mapped by North Dakota Game and Fish Department, along with seasons and regulations.
Opening the official parcel viewer
For a parcel near Egeland, the official parcel map for this area is the North Dakota Parcel Viewer, and no login is needed to use it. Without an address in hand, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, for land near Rock Lake National Wildlife Refuge included. If the land is near Hansboro, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Reading terrain
Switch to aerial imagery near Bisbee, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Who owns the ground
The North Dakota Parcel Viewer shows private parcel lines, so you can see who owns the land near Hansboro.
Getting your bearings
Cando is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Bisbee, Egeland, Hansboro, and Perth. Around 2,030 people live in Towner County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 1,025 square miles. Towner County was organized in 1883, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Landmarks such as Brumba National Wildlife Refuge are easy to spot when you zoom out.
Which office to call
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Perth sit in the index kept by the County Recorder, often with an online index. Building or septic questions for a lot near Egeland need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Land on the county line
Towner County touches Benson County, Cavalier County, Pierce County, Ramsey County, and Rolette County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Cando can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. If the land is near Sarles, our state page links each bordering county map for North Dakota.
Getting a yes
For property near Rocklake, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Egeland, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Egeland and its lines is a good backup.
A word on accuracy
For land near Bisbee, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on the ground. If you're looking near Egeland, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Regulations to check
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and know your state's trespass rules wherever you hunt near Maza.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the viewer just points to it, whether the land is near Brumba National Wildlife Refuge or elsewhere in the county. Long-held tracts near Egeland can go back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Sections, lots and bearings
North Dakota follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Cando reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Brumba National Wildlife Refuge can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near Maza for any title or survey request.
Good habits afield
Leave gates as you found them on land near Maza, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
