BLM Range Allotments

Last updated on 12/10/2010 12:05:22 PM.

Overview

This data set includes range allotments and pastures (where pastures are subdivisions of allotments) that are managed for livestock grazing on federal lands by the Bureau of Land Management.  

Data Input

The BLM Allotments data were obtained from the GeoCommunicator GIS Web Service. Below are the details of this data set as it appears in the service:

When downloading the data, the attribute field names are changed to generic vlaues. Therefore, the fields had to be renamed to match the web service and stay logical. No additional processing of the data was completed and they appear in WFDSS identical to the way they do in GeoCommunicator.

Caution: The data displayed in WFDSS are intended for STRATEGIC USE ONLY. Always verify the positional accuracy of the data with local knowledge.

WFDSS GIS Team

The WFDSS application is "data rich". It requires data which is spatially oriented and graphically displays information to support wildland fire and other natural resource decisions. Due to the type and number of interagency spatial data sets required in April 2009 an interagency GIS Team was formed to provide data support for WFDSS. This Team is responsible for acquiring, consolidating, and validating their agency spatial and tabular data. In addition this team developed and maintained communications among local, regional, and national agency personnel to improve the collection process and provide explicit guidance on data needs. The members of the WFDSS GIS Team are:
