Navigation operates similarly to Apple Maps or Google Maps; dragging the cursor moves the map in cardinal directions. A zoom in/out button is situated in the upper left corner. Before you begin exploring, click the legend button in the upper right corner of the map (indicated by several horizontal lines). This will display the various datasets represented on the map using different colors and shapes. Familiarity with the legend will help users focus on the data that interests them the most.

The map features county boundaries marked in gray. You can verify that you are examining your county of interest by clicking anywhere on the map within the gray outline. This will bring up a pop-up that confirms which county you are viewing or clicking within. Incorporated cities are depicted as polygons with gray hash marks. The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) is consistently represented on the map as a pastel red polygon.

The map is designed to highlight recreation assets as points (dots, triangles, squares) or lines (trails and rivers), with the exception of backcountry ski areas, which are represented as pink polygons. Public lands are depicted as polygons and outlines, encompassing National Parks, State Parks, National Forests, and Bureau of Land Management areas.

This map co-displays recreational assets, natural resource assets, and wildfire risk. It serves as a resource for land managers and policy decision-makers planning wildfire prescriptive easements, while also facilitating discussions between the public and those land managers regarding the protection of resources that support rural economies.
