Abstract:
These data represent areas where the characteristics of wilderness, as defined by the Wilderness Act of 1964, being naturalness - lands and resources exhibit a high degree of naturalness when affected primarily by the forces of nature and where the imprint of human activity is substantially unnoticeable; outstanding opportunities for solitude - which is defined as the sights, sounds, and evidence of other people are rare or infrequent, where visitors can be isolated, alone or secluded from others; and outstanding opportunities for primitive recreation - which is defined as where the use of the area is through non-motorized, non-mechanical means, and where no or minimal developed recreation facilities are encountered. These data were compiled as part of inventories of resources maintained by the Bureau of Land Management, in compliance with FLPMA section 201. These data were developed to meet the requirements of Instruction Memorandum 2003-275, Change 1. |

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

For regional analysis and display at 1:45,000. This dataset was prepared/acquired for use in resource management planning processes conducted in Arizona. These data establish a layer that spatially represents those acres on Arizona BLM that contain wilderness characteristics defined by the Wilderness Act of 1964.

This data should not be used at a scale larger than 1:45,000. The data and corresponding attributes are only as accurate as the source maps from which they were obtained, and may vary depending on the data and method of acquisition. This data is suitable for regional planning, management decision support at intermediate scales (i.e. 1:45,000 or smaller), and cartographic purposes. The data is not suitable for analysis at scales larger than 1:45,000. If the Receiving Agency (RA) has modified the data in any way, they are obligated to describe the types of modifications they have performed on hardcopy maps utilizing the data. RA specifically agrees not to misrepresent BLM datasets or to imply that any changes made were approved by BLM. No warranty is made by the BLM for use of the data for purposes not intended by BLM. This information may be updated without notification.

Feature attributes were taken from source material. Code assignments are believed to be representative of the source document.
Data was reviewed for correct topological structure. Duplicate lines have been removed.
This dataset covers BLM Arizona where Land Use Planning has occured since 2001. It is reviewed and added to as additional information becomes available.
The data was developed by screen digitzing polygons using a variety of field maps, photos, and other data sets. Coarse polygons were drawn in the field on maps printed with land status, transportation, and 1:24,000 or 1:100,000 digital raster graphs (DRG). These field maps were drawn to correspond with the wilderness characteristics evaluations that were written while in the field. In the office, information on the field maps was screen digitized using the same data sets in the background that were used in the field maps. Horizontal accuracy is not greater than 1:45,000. Positional accuracy was tested by visual comparison of the source data with the hard copy field maps.
