<abstract>This dataset is intended for read-only use. These data show the current boundaries of National Wilderness areas, including all additions/deletions/modifications to boundaries which occurred after the area was originally designated. The boundaries in this dataset are suitable for general mapping and analysis. In comparison to the Wilderness dataset, the WildernessStatus dataset includes discrete polygons for all additions/deletions/modifications to boundaries which occurred after the area was originally designated, as well as action dates and other details. The purpose of these data is to provide display, identification, and analysis tools for determining current boundary information for Forest Service managers, GIS specialists, and others.</abstract>
<purpose>This dataset represents the current boundaries of areas that have been designated as a National Wilderness area in the National Wilderness Preservation System.</purpose>

<attraccr>The Regional Land Status personnel are responsible for their local data stewardship and maintenance. The overall collection nationwide consists of 100% attribute accuracy based on currentness and completeness.</attraccr>

<logic>Quality control measures taken: this feature class is populated by an automated translation process from the source feature class that is edited and maintained by the data stewards. Only stewards with the proper role grants can edit the data. The application used for editing has built in controls to only allow valid geometry and domains to control attribute integrity.</logic>

<procdesc>This data was published using Feature Manipulation Engine Software. The spatial features were extracted from the transactional database, manipulated to meet the desired output format and published to the target feature class. This data was migrated from the CDW. The spatial features were projected and imported into the target feature class.</procdesc>
