BLM OR LUP Current Boundary Polygon Hub: Active Land Use Planning Areas

Land Use Planning Current Polygon describes the planning or project area for the Land Use Planning Current dataset. The dataset contains active land use plans, typically Resource Management Plans and amendments with a signed Record of Decision, and extends to adjacent Plan Area Boundaries with no gaps or overlaps. It is provided by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map current federal land management jurisdictions based on described plan area boundaries.
• Analyze spatial adjacency and coverage of active Resource Management Plans based on the 'wall-to-wall' description.
• Support environmental impact assessments by identifying the official geographic scope of signed land use decisions.

Strengths

• Data is structured to have 'no gaps or overlaps' between adjacent plan boundaries.
• Includes active plans with a signed Record of Decision, indicating an official status.
• Published by the authoritative Department of the Interior and follows a linked data standard.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
