Description:

Abstract:

The wilderness data set illustrates the boundaries of BLM wilderness created by the Desert Protection Act. The data set has been updated as legals for the boundaries have become available. The data was created by transferring an interpretation of legislative intent to 7.5' USGS quad, and then digitizing the quad. As legals have become available the boundaries have been modified to reflect both the feature which was used to define the boundary, and the source of the arc that was used.

Purpose:

The data set is used to illustrate BLM wilderness in the CA Desert, and in inventoring various resource management and administrative features as necessary. The data set may also be used in analysis of natural resource features such as protection of habitat, etc.

Supplemental_Information:

The source of information in this data set is as follows: The Desert Protection Act, and legislative committee mark up maps, USGS 7.5' quad maps, USGS 1:100,000 DLG data, BLM Geog. Coordinate Database (GCDB) data, USGS 7.5' DRG data. Initial interpretation of the legislative intent resulted in preliminary boundaries. Since then, legal descriptions were created by cadastral surveryors, and are now in the process of Field Office review. As the legal descriptions become available, they are incorporated into the wilderness boundary data set.

Process_Description:

The data was interpreted from the legislative intent and transferred to 7.5' USGS quads. The data was digitized and offered for Field Office review. Surveyors created legal descriptions from the legislative intent. These are now out for Field Office review. As the legal descriptions become available, they have been incorporated into the data.

Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:

The coverage.aat user defined items are COORD_SOURCE, DEF_FEATURE, OFFSET_FEET, OFFSET_METER, BOUNDARY, CHERRY_STEM. COORD_SOURCE is for feature level metadata and provides the source of the digital data that the arc was created from. DEF_ FEATURE provides the physical feature upon which the boundary is determined (such as road, stream, plss, etc). OFFSET_FEET and OFFSET_METER provide numeric values for how far the boundary is set away from a feature.

The coverage.pat has two user defined items: WLD_ID and INITIAL_ADJ. WLD_ID is a BLM wilderness program internal identification number assigned to the wilderness area. INITIAL_ADJ is a switch that indicates whether or not the wilderness boundary has been adjusted to a legal description. A value of "Y" indicates that the boundary has been adjusted to a legal description. No value indicates that no adjustment has taken place. Values for WLD_ID are as follows:
