Draft EIS – August 2007 Appendix B-Lands of Uncertain Title 

APPENDIX B—LANDS OF UNCERTAIN TITLE 

For some tracts of land the title is clouded. These tracts are claimed by private owners, but government 

land records show that they were never transferred from federal ownership. Claimants may apply for 

transfer of these tracts under the Color-of-Title Act and, if qualified, purchase the tracts to obtain title. 

Color-of-Title Act cases will be processed on a case-by-case basis. The following tables list tracts in 

Alabama and Mississippi that appear to be of uncertain title.
