<abstract>This dataset is intended for read-only use. The boundaries in this dataset provide detailed information suitable for advanced land status mapping and analysis. The Wilderness dataset provides the current area boundaries (not split by transaction) which is suitable for most mapping and analysis. 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 transactional boundaries of National Wilderness in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Where applicable, discrete polygons represent additions/deletions/modifications to boundaries which occurred after the area was originally designated. The dataset also provides detailed information about the designation of the area, such as the designation date, legal authority, establishing document, and more.</purpose>

<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>
