>Polygon features depicting the NLCS Wilderness Areas.
Polygon features depicting the 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.

The data was built to check for topological errors and verified that there were none.
The dataset is considered to be inclusive of every BLM administered wilderness area in New
Mexico.
Shapefile was downloaded from BLM and reprojected from 1983 Albers to Geographic WGS84 for ingest into RGIS.
