standing on public land?

I have a few govt maps, and I've been looking at claiming and whatnot. I can't patent it even if I claim land, since the BLM has refused to issue patents on claims for yet another year (12 now). So then I got to thinking, is there any reason I can't "stand upon" land identified as "public land" or "national forestry land?" It has no title, and no one has had a previous claim.
Can the government even own the land in the first place?
