BLM Idaho Wilderness Study Areas from 1991 Report

The Bureau of Land Management conducted a study mandated by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 to assess the wilderness suitability of public lands in Idaho. The results were reported to the President by October 21, 1991. This dataset contains the geospatial boundaries and summary information from that 1991 Idaho Wilderness Study Report.

Use Cases

• Map wilderness study area boundaries based on the geospatial data formats.
• Analyze land suitability for wilderness designation based on the study's criteria.
• Support policy decisions on public land management based on the 1991 federal report.

Strengths

• Data originates from a federally mandated study conducted by the Bureau of Land Management.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOJSON, KML, and CSV for flexibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is based on a 1991 study; current conditions may have changed.
