I finally got around to adding a custom online map for the USGS Protected Area Database (see:
USGS PADUS details (http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/PADUS_Status/MapServer))
Add to providers.xml:
<provider id="1000" type="0" visible="true" background="-1">
<name>USGS</name>
<mode>PADUS owner</mode>
<url><![CDATA[http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/PADUS_Owner/MapServer/tile/{z}/{y}/{x}]]></url>
<zoomPart>{z}-8</zoomPart>
<zoomMin>12</zoomMin>
<zoomMax>20</zoomMax>
<tileSize>256</tileSize>
<countries>World</countries>
</provider>
This works really well as a semi-transparent overlay.
Here's the color legend:

This is exciting stuff!
From the USGS website, I see (and downloaded ) my state data (Colorado).
However, not being a programmer nor very programming proficient..I am unsure of the manner to 1) change/add the instructions your provide and 2) how to add to the the locus files so as to select and use.
PM if you prefer.
Thanks for any assistance.
I had been using this script for several years and then it stopped working. I reached out to PADUS and found out they had changed websites. Wondering if anybody has an updated script?
Thanks,
I suggest you try changing the code in providers.xml as below
<provider id="1000" type="0" visible="true" background="-1">
<name>USGS</name>
<mode>PADUS Manager</mode>
<url><![CDATA[https://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/PADUS1_4/Protected_Areas_by_Manager/MapServer/tile/{z}/{y}/{x}]]></url>
<zoomPart>{z}-8</zoomPart>
<zoomMin>12</zoomMin>
<zoomMax>20</zoomMax>
<tileSize>256</tileSize>
<countries>World</countries>
</provider>
That is what I tried initially and didn't have any luck. I tried updating this line with the updated website:
<url><![CDATA[http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/PADUS_Owner/MapServer/tile/{z}/{y}/{x}]]></url>
