utf8 dataset dataset ISO 19139 Geographic Information - Metadata - Implementation Specification 2007 This polygon feature class represents the spatial extent and boundaries of BLM National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) Wilderness Areas in Utah. Per legislative authority, this data is under review for “clerical and typographical” errors. Boundary lines may not accurately align with features that currently exist on the ground, such as designated roads. Some features may be adjusted pursuant to: S. 47: John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, Public Law 116-9, March 12, 2019. Data within these services are a live copy of BLM Utah's enterprise production environment. Quality control is conducted annually. This polygon feature class represents the spatial extent and boundaries of BLM National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) Wilderness Areas. A Wilderness is a special place where the earth and its community of life are essentially undisturbed; they retain a primeval character, without permanent improvements and generally appear to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature. In 1964, Congress established the National Wilderness Preservation System and designated the first Wilderness Areas in passing the Wilderness Act. The uniquely American idea of wilderness has become an increasingly significant tool to ensure long-term protection of natural landscapes. Wilderness protects the habitat of numerous wildlife species and serves as a biodiversity bank for many species of plants and animals. Wilderness is also a source of clean water.
