BLM Roads in Google Earth?

[GunsAreFun]

I have become pretty well versed in overlays in GE, but cannot find or figure out how to get BLM roads. Ideally, I am looking for something similar to the USFS roads and trails overlay.

Am I missing something or does it not exist?

Are you looking for legal access? If so, I would not trust Google for that information.

I’m looking for a BLM MKZ/KML file like USFS and others have so the data source is the governing agency. It is just overlaid on Google Earth imagery.

Thanks! I didn't know this existed for BLM areas, but I'm been using the USFS Roads and Trails for a long time.

It is out there. Not on GE though. Have to download or import the correct laters From the right sources into GE.

I messed with this yesterday and was able to get the BLM roads as a GAIA importable map file.

I downloaded the KMZ file, converted it to a ESRI shapefile with QGIS Desktop (free), then used Mapbox (free) to turn it into a link to import as a Gaia map source. Worked pretty dang well and a nice backup for some of the BLM roads that aren't on other maps.

If anyone needs help doing this, feel free to PM me.
