WLD_CHAR_ARC: This theme represents the results of an inventory of wilderness characteristics found, or not found, on BLM lands in Oregon and Washington. This data set shows the polygons for areas found to possess wilderness characteristics, plus boundary lines for those areas that were intensively inventoried and found to not meet minimum wilderness criteria. All BLM lands outside of designated Wilderness Areas and Wilderness Study Areas are periodically evaluated for wilderness characteristics based on meeting minimum criteria for size, naturalness and outstanding opportunities for solitude or primitive and unconfined recreation. Where such inventories have been updated, those BLM lands not depicted by polygons were deemed to clearly lack wilderness characteristics in an initial scan of size and roadlessness to determine areas warranting more intensive inventory.
The WILD_CHAR will serve as the depository of the latest inventory findings on the presence or absence of wilderness characteristics on all BLM lands in OR/WA that are outside of wilderness or WSA. This inventory data will be used at all levels of planning and National Environmental Policy Act analysis to help identify if wilderness characteristics are present for a proposed planning area and what those characteristics are. This inventory information in combination with other resource data will also be used to help determine the potential effects of any proposed actions to wilderness characteristics where present
BLM - Bureau of Land Management A published revision of the Department Manual’s Part 305: Departmental Science Effects, Chapter 3: Integrity of Scientific and Scholarly Activities (305 DM 3), effective December 16, 2014, is available online at http://elips.doi.gov/ELIPS/DocView.aspx?id=4056. Scholarly information considered in Departmental decision making must be robust, of the highest quality, and the result of as rigorous scientific and scholarly processes as can be achieved. Most importantly, it must be trustworthy. This policy helps us to achieve that standard (http://www.doi.gov/scientificintegrity/index.cfm)

BLM
OBJECTID
Internal feature number
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated
DEF_FEATURE
DEF_FEATURE
The physical or legal feature that defines the boundary according to the legal boundary description. In general, the lowest level defining feature, but it depends on how the boundary segment is actually defined. For example, SUBDIVISION rather than COUNTY unless the boundary segment is specifically defined as following the COUNTY boundary
COORD_SRC
COORD_SRC
The actual source of the GIS coordinates for the line segments.
ACCURACY_FT
ACCURACY_FT
How close, in feet, the spatial GIS depiction is to the actual location on the ground. GIS error considers scale and accuracy of map-based sources, accuracy of Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, and the skill level of the data manipulators. A value of 0 indicates no entry was made. This is the correct value when the COORD_SRC is another GIS theme (Digital Line Graph, Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure and Digital Elevation Model (DEM)) because the accuracy is determined by that theme. However, if COORD_SRC is MAP (digitized from a paper map) or GPS, a value of 0 indicates a missing value that should be filled in either with a non-zero number or -1. A value of -1 indicates that the accuracy is unknown, and no reliable estimate can be made.
SHAPE
SHAPE
Feature geometry.
Coordinates defining the features.
SHAPE_Length
SHAPE_Length
Length of feature in internal units.
Positive real numbers that are automatically generated.
Attributes are provided that give basic information about source, type, and accuracy of the line data. More information may be found in the data standard if available: https://www.blm.gov/or/gis/data.php
