I know of one 1622 Spanish ship wreck site in Florida that the Park Service
folks 'protect'. I have heard from several different people, including state
officers, that some of the people who work at the particular park have been
diving on the wreck for many years and taking finds. On the flip side, they
aggressively keep others out of the area from even sport diving by
harassment and intimidation. There are crooks in all aspects of government,
no matter what country you live in.

I would think a FOIA request could get the maps, if they exist.
Unless the secret locations are national security related, there is no
good reason for BLM to withhold that information.
And what makes a BLM officer any more trustworthy than the average
citizen? How do we know the BLM people aren't plundering those sites?

If you can find older versions of topo maps you will see more detail in
labeling of features such as ruins. The current maps are more

Subject: [meteorite-list] Secret BLM maps ?
Last week I was walking along a dry lake bed and looked up to see the
inevitable white truck parked next to mine. I walked back and had a nice
talk with a BLM officer. He was concerned that we were picking up
artifacts, which we were not. My wife mentioned that we were going to
look for some petroglyphs and asked him about the roads in that area.
"No Mam", he says. "We can't tell you anything about locations. In fact
there are many more petroglyphs and over a hundred caves that are not on
your maps and we can't tell you anything about."
Which makes me think that these locations must be a matter of record
somewhere. Does the BLM have secret maps not available to the public?
