BLM OR LUP in Progress Boundary Polygon Hub: Land Use Planning Areas Under Development

Land Use Progress Boundary Polygon (LUP_PRGS_POLY) describes the planning or project area for Land Use Plans (LUPs) that are in progress, as managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The dataset is provided by the Department of the Interior and was last updated on April 9, 2026. It is designed to ensure no more than one LUP is in progress in a given area, with polygons removed upon plan activation.

Use Cases

• Track the status and spatial extent of active land use planning projects based on the described boundary polygons.
• Analyze planning area adjacency and potential conflicts based on the rule of no overlapping in-progress LUPs.
• Model the transition of land use plans from 'in progress' to 'active' based on the described update process.
• Integrate planning boundaries with other active datasets to maintain a gap-free and overlap-free geospatial layer.

Strengths

• Data is linked to a formal spatial data standard, providing a documented structure.
• Update logic is defined, specifying how polygons are moved between 'in progress' and 'active' states.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, KML, and ArcGIS REST API.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
