Abstract:

Features of the land associated with the concept of wilderness that may be considered in land use planning when BLM determines that those characteristics are reasonably present, of sufficient value (condition, uniqueness, relevance, importance) and need (trend, risk), and are practical to manage.

Purpose:

For regional analysis and display at 1:24,000.  This dataset was prepared/acquired for use in the PDO resource management planning process.

Supplemental information:

Lands outside of designated wilderness and wilderness study areas where the BLM, or the public, have determined thru inventories that wilderness characteristics (WCs), such as solitude, primitive recreation, or naturalness, exists. Consideration of WCs is part of the land use planning process along with all other resource values and uses. As part of the land use planning process, new WSAs will not be considered, however, WCs can be identified, and goals, objectives, and management actions can be prescribed.



This dataset and other datasets in the BLM Phoenix District Office Geographic Information Database represent data for the BLM Phoenix District Office, and may include the Hassayampa Field Office and Lower Sonoran Field Office.

Currentness reference:

REQUIRED: The basis on which the time period of content information is determined.

Use constraints:

This data should not be used at a scale larger than 1:24,000.  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. 1:24,000 or smaller), and cartographic purposes.  The 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 PDOGID datasets or to imply that any changes made were approved by BLM PDO.



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.

Attribute accuracy report:

Feature attributes were taken from source material.  Code assignments are believed to be representative of the source document.

Logical consistency report:

Data was reviewed for correct topological structure.  Duplicate lines have been removed.

Completeness report:

This dataset covers the entire BLM Phoenix District.  It is constantly being reviewed and added to as additional information becomes available.

Horizontal positional accuracy report:

The data has been vertically integrated to the Arizona BLM Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB) and to 1:24,000 scale DLG base data, including transportation, hydrology, and powerlines where appropriate.  Overall horizontal accuracy for this data is not greater than national mapping accuracy standards (NMAS) for USGS source maps.  Snapping and coordinate shift tolerances were maintained at 0.01 meters or less through editing.  Horizontal positional accuracy for the digital data set was tested by visual comparison of the source data with hard copy verification plots.
