*Some NLCS units overlap. Because of these overlaps, it is not possible to arrive at an acreage total for all NLCS units simply by adding the acreage total for each category listed above (e.g., Monuments and National Conservation Areas, Wilderness, etc.). For example, Oregon’s Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Area contains Wilderness Study Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and a Wilderness Area.
