However, Linear datasets are also supported (FEATURE_TYPE) *Each of the features within this feature class were generalized. To keep the naming convention the same, we added the _gen after each feature class so this service and the data layers won\u2019t get confused with the other NLCS services. This service and the underlying data will be kept \u201cin-sync\u201d with national replication. This polygon feature class represents the spatial extent and boundaries of the BLM National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) National Monuments, National Conservation Areas and Similar Designations. This dataset is a subset of the official national dataset, containing features and attributes intended for public release and has been optimized for online map service performance.\n\nThis dataset is a subset of the official national dataset, containing features and attributes intended for public release and has been optimized for online map service performance.
