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. |

Scenic Quality Rating Units or SQRU's measure the visual appeal of a tract of land. Public lands are given an A,B,or C rating based on the apparent scenic quality which is determined using seven key factors: Landform, vegetation, water, color, adjacent scenery, scarcity, and cultural modifications. These data represent the polygon features that define the SQRU's. |
