National Wilderness Preservation System Map
Nationalatlas.gov™ is pleased to offer a map showing the National Wilderness Preservation System for the United States of America. The Wilderness Act established the National Wilderness Preservation System in 1964, affording the highest degree of protection to some of the remaining wild public lands in the United States. The map shows all designated Wilderness areas, and the color of each area depicts which of the four Federal agencies administers the Wilderness. In addition to the map, insets on the front side show wilderness photos, a summary of the wilderness legacy, and quotes from citizens about what wilderness means to them. The back side of the map provides general information about the wilderness system in text, images, and sketches. In addition, a table lists acreage, year of establishment, and administrative information for each Wilderness.
The map measures 42- by 46-inches and is published at a scale of 1:5,000,000. "National Wilderness Preservation System" map sells for $7.00 per sheet when ordered from the USGS. Reference stock number 101414 when ordering.
