http://www.prairie.mt.gov/pages/clerk_recorder.htm  (under the BLM map tab)
The above image is an example of a cadastral, or land ownership map.  These maps delineate ownership of land parcels and can sometimes even contain more information about the structures that are contained within these boundaries.  The scale at which a cadastral map is drawn can vary and they bring to and can help resolve ownership disputes.

The above image is a cadastral image of Prairie County, MT, and delineates the area between public land, private land, state land, Bankhead-Jones land, and water.  This map shows that there is a large amount of Bankhead-Jones and Public lands dispersed throughout the county (denoted by the blue and light-blue).  Apart from this, there is a large area of privately owned land in the South-Eastern portion and northern portion of the county (denoted by the white).
