There are a lot of GIS / mapping software that shows property ownership and their boundaries, useful for hunting. onX, for example, and I think you can purchase 'ownership layers' on stuff like Avenza. I agree with what you're saying though, it would be cool to take something like those property owner layers and find the ultimate legal entity for stuff like LLCs owning land. E, only semi-related: In the 'urban design' part of the internet I've seen really cool mapping that puts bar charts on top of a city's grid, with the bar charts being how much tax revenue the city generates. It's really stark to see skyscraper-sized bars in downtown cores and mostly flat all around where cities have zoned residential separate from commercial, or even where suburbs tax less than the core city.

Gaia GPS [1] is the one I use. It's got a lot of layers for free including land ownership which properly shows all of my neighbors plots. I use it often when collecting rock specimens and mushrooms to make sure I'm on public land that allows it or to figure out who to seek permission from.

  Thanks for the pointer, I just downloaded the app. What is the name of the layer showing property boundaries for free? I can see the “Private Land (US)” but it’s prompting me to sign up for premium when I click on it.

    Oooff that's my mistake. I might be grandfathered in on the premium layers and didn't realize.

      Ah ok yeah I thought that was too good to be true. Currently using onX for this but am paying $30/year for the private land layer

Most of the information these services draw from is publicly available, and the stuff that isn’t is of questionable accuracy.
