US Forest Service Region 3 Wilderness Areas

Description

This file contains a feature class depicting National Forest System land parcels that have a
Congressionally designated boundary. Examples include National Wilderness Area,
Primitive Area, or Wilderness Study Area. This dataset is derived from the USFS
Southwestern Region ALP (Automated Lands Program) data Project. This is one of six
layers derived from ALP for the purpose of supplying data layers for recourse GIS
analysis and data needs within the Forest Service. The six layers are Surface
Ownership, Administrative Forest Boundary, District Boundary, Townships, Sections,
and Wilderness. There were some gaps in the ALP data so a small portion of this
dataset comes from CCF (Cartographic Feature Files) datasets and the USFS
Southwestern Region Core Data Project. ALP data are developed from data sources of
differing accuracy, scales, and reliability. Where available they are developed from
GCDB (Geographic Coordinate Data Base) data. GCDB data are maintained by the Bureau
of Land Management in their State Offices. GCDB data are mostly corner data. Not all
corners and not all boundaries are available in GCDB so ALP also utilizes many other
data sources like CFF data to derive its boundaries. GCDB data are in a constant
state of change because land corners are always being resurveyed. The GCDB data
used in this dataset represents a snapshot in time when the GCDB dataset was
published by the BLM and may not reflect the most current GCDB dataset available.
The Forest Service makes no expressed or implied warranty with respect to the
character, function, or capabilities of these data. These data are intended to be
used for planning and analyses purposes only and are not legally binding with
regard to title or location of National Forest System lands.
