vector digital data
This is an aggregate dataset. Source data were received from all or some of the BLM Colorado state field offices.
Visual resource inventory visual distance zones are landscapes that are subdivided into three distance zones based on relative visibility from travel routes or observation points. The three zones are foreground-middleground (fm), background (bg), and seldom seen (ss). Foreground-middleground zone includes areas seen from highways, rivers or other viewing locations which are less than 3 to 5 miles away. Seen areas beyond the foreground-middleground (fm) zone but usually less than 15 miles away are in the background (bg) zone. Areas not seen as fm, or bg are in the seldom-seen zone. These data represent the polygon features used to define the vdz.
NOTE: This dataset is subject to update daily. Process Steps and Publication Dates are not reflected in this metadata documentation. Individual feature updates are logged automatically into the attribute table using editor tracking.
BLM's Visual Resource Management system provides a way to identify and evaluate scenic values to determine the appropriate levels of management. It also provides a way to analyze potential visual impacts and apply visual design techniques to ensure that surface-disturbing activities are in harmony with their surroundings. This is a two stage process: Inventory, Visual Resource Inventory (VRI) and Analysis, Visual Resource Contrast Rating.
