Abstract:
A feature class depicting the boundary of areas designated by the Congress of the United States as Wilderness.
Purpose:
The purpose of this feature class is to depict the areas designated as Wilderness on the National Forest.
Supplemental_Information:
This feature class was derived from the cartographic feature files (CFF's) for the Primary Base Series 7.5 minute quadrangles provided by the USDA, Forest Service, Geospatial Service and Technology Center (GSTC). The CFFs may have been augmented with data from a variety of sources (GPS, DOQQs, hardcopy maps) per direction from Forest specialists. The National Wilderness Preservation System was created on September 3, 1964, when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed The Wilderness Act. The National Wilderness Preservation System, created at the signing of the Wilderness Act, was to contain those lands, already owned by the American people, that were "untrammeled by man." They were to be managed "for the use and enjoyment of the American people in such manner as will leave them unimpaired for future use and enjoyment as wilderness..." No roads or structures were to be built. Vehicles and other mechanical equipment were not to be used. The minimum size was set at 5,000 acres, with certain exceptions. The Wilderness Act also put 9.1 million acres of national forest land into the new system. A process was created for congressional designation of future acreage in the national forests, parks, and wildlife refuges. In 1976, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act set forth a process for adding Bureau of Land Management (BLM) areas to the National Wilderness Preservation System. These four sets of public lands total 623 million acres, about 26 percent of our country.

Comparison with other data sets for the same area from other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies resulting from changes in photo interpretation, rounding of decimal coordinates during conversion, and mapping conventions over time. Any hardcopies utilizing these data sets shall clearly indicate their source. If the user has modified the data in any way, they are obligated to describe the types of modifications they have performed on the hardcopy map. The user specifically agrees not to misrepresent these data sets, nor to imply that changes made were approved by the USDA, Forest Service.

Cartographic Feature Files (CFFs) are digital files containing a vector representation of the point and line features shown on a Forest Service Primary Base Series (PBS) map. CFF data are collected by digitizing PBS maps and revised using correction guide information provided by field units. GSTC began producing Vintage 11 CFFs for the USDA, Forest Service, Southwestern Region in 1999.

Process_Description:
This data set was created from Vintage 11 CFFs. Forests provided data to be used to augment this coverage and provided the type_use_code and case_name for each feature depicted in this coverage. The wilderness region subclass was created by extracting the CFF codes that depicted wilderness and primitive area boundaries. The CFF codes that were used in this were:
