Description
Abstract
This data layer shows wilderness study areas (WSAs). It also identifies lands that are not WSAs but were administratively endorsed for wilderness by BLM in the 1991 wilderness study reports sent to the President and Congress. It also identifies acquired lands that are not WSAs, but are managed as if they were WSAs as a result of congressional direction.
Purpose
This layer is generally used for WSA identification and management, planning, and case-by-case actions where NEPA documentations is prepared.
Supplementary Information
The data was digitized at the BLM Utah State Office from 1:24,000 USGS quadrangle paper maps using MOSS ADS. This data was also integrated with GCDB, Transportation, Hydrography at 1:24,000 scale.

This data should never be used at a scale larger than 1:24,000. The data and corresponding attributes are only as accurate as the source from which they were obtained, and may vary depending upon the date and method of acquisition. This data is suitable for regional planning, management decision support at intermediate scales, i.e. 1:24,000 or smaller, and cartographic purposes. The data is not suitable for purposes of navigation. This data is not suitable for analysis at scales larger than 1:24,000. 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 USO data sets nor to imply that any changes made were approved by BLM USO. 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.
