Item Information

snippet: A linear feature for ground transportation includes roads, primitive roads, primitive routes, trails, temporary routes, and linear disturbances. This layer defines BLM Ground Transportation Linear Features within Idaho. The Ground Transportation Linear Feature (GTLF) data standard provides a National Geospatial data standard of the ground transportation linear features. A national BLM GTLF data standard is essential for collecting the landscape-scale data necessary to identify management opportunities and challenges that may not be evident when managing smaller land areas. GTLF data not only serve the crucial function of improving BLM transportation planning, but is also invaluable to numerous other BLM programs affected by transportation (e.g. water and air quality, wildlife habitat fragmentation, engineering, realty, cultural resources).

description: Formerly published as TRANS_NOC_GTLF_PUB_UNK_LINE This standard houses linear features on BLM lands as well as transportation features that provide access to BLM transportation routes. In order to meet the local or state field office needs, each state may extend its GTLF data standard to collect data to fulfill local data requirements as long as the state or field office data can be cross-walked into the National GTLF data standard format. This dataset is an ongoing process, updated periodically when better data is available. The National BLM GTLF data provides standardized transportation information for use in BLM programs and analysis. At the core, this standard stores transportation information gathered, inventoried, analyzed and recorded in a BLM Transportation Management Plan or TMP. The TMP analyzes transportation options and incorporates public participation to assist in determining travel routes, modes of travel, and season of use on selected and surrounding BLM managed lands. The Idaho BLM maintains only GTLF routes that have been recorded in a TMP. This route data is identified by COORD_SRC2 = ‘TMP – Plan Name’ and PLAN_ROUTE_DSGNTN_AUTH = ‘BLM’. All other data is considered Non-BLM authoritative, administered and maintained transportation data and is provided only as spatial and tabular reference material. As new or existing transportation data is analyzed and recorded through the TMP process, the resulting data will be incorporated into the Idaho BLM GTLF authoritative data maintenance program. The Idaho BLM GTLF data contains transportation data from many different sources across the state including the TMP process, and as such may contain a variety of spatial and tabular inaccuracies and may include errors of omission or commission. The purpose for collecting and maintaining an Idaho state-wide compilation is to provide a broad overview of the transportation network for properly focused analysis or inventory purposes and to provide connectivity between BLM managed routes and the broader transportation network. As with all spatial data, this Idaho BLM GTLF data only represents an approximate or generalized spatial and tabular description of the actual transportation route. All BLM disclaimers apply to this data and that the use of this data is at the risk of the user. Additional Notes. The purpose of this dataset is to create an Idaho BLM feature class with existing routes. Due to the lack of finalized Travel Management Plans (TMP) throughout the state the best available data was used. Where TMP data was not available we used a larger collection of 1:24,000-scale "Resource Base Data" GIS road features gathered by Idaho BLM and a variety of other data collected from the state. May 4 2018: fields added for use by ID BLM for cartographic purposes. Jan 2020 update to GTLF Schema v3.0. This data set was created and is maintained by the Bureau of Land Management staff in Idaho for only those roads identified by the metadata. All other roads are included only as background source material and are not maintained in GIS or on the ground by BLM. For more information contact us at blm_id_stateoffice@blm.gov.
