Protected Land Area Database
This database has details of land areas where specific permission is required or where caching is not allowed. Mapping resources are shown. The most useful is MAGIC and there is a very useful link called MagicMapIt! that you can enter any coordinates into to check a location.
Click the Land area column to sort alphabetically.
