BLM Idaho Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) Designated Boundaries

A geospatial dataset from the Bureau of Land Management containing polygon boundaries for Idaho's active Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs). The data is sourced from Resource Management Plans and Management Framework Plans, with the last update recorded on 2026-03-14. The polygons represent initial planning boundaries and do not reflect final, authorized ACEC limits.

Use Cases

• Map and visualize designated environmental conservation areas based on polygon boundaries.
• Analyze land use planning overlaps based on boundaries from Resource Management Plans.
• Support environmental impact assessments based on the location of critical environmental areas.
• Integrate federal land management boundaries into larger geospatial information systems.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (KML, GeoJSON, CSV, etc.) for flexibility.
• Sourced from authoritative federal land management plans (RMPs, MFPs).
• Last updated date is precisely recorded as 2026-03-14 10:01:15.922386.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description notes boundaries are initial and do not reflect final, authorized ACEC limits.
