The US-BLM shall not be liable under any circumstances for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages with respect to any claim by any user or any third party on account of or arising from the use of this file or the data from which it was derived.

Generally, these data are intended for small scale (1:24,000 and smaller) natural resource management and planning applications.

It is also strongly recommended that careful attention be paid to the content of the metadata file associated with these data.

Users are further cautioned that these data and interpretations derived from them do not eliminate the need for onsite survey and evaluation of specific sites for intensive uses.</PRE>
