1978 Recommended Wilderness Plan Map for Colorado National Monument, Colorado
National Park Service, Intermountain GIS Program Office. 2003. 1978 Recommended Wilderness Plan Map for Colorado National Monument, Colorado. National Park Service, Intermountain GIS Program Office
This is a polygon and line coverage of the 1978 Wilderness Plan recommendation submitted to congress of wilderness areas and potential wilderness areas at Colorado National Monument. This dataset was mostly heads-up digitized from a graphic entitled "Wilderness Plan, Colorado National Monument, Colorado" and dated January 1978 found at the NPS Technical Information Center [TIC identifier: 119 20006 C]. This dataset is derived from the latest official NPS Wilderness Recommendation which was transmitted from the President to Congress on May 11, 1978, but never enacted. The official Wilderness Recommendation is based on careful studies of roadless areas, public hearings, and written responses. This dataset has been revised from the official map to adjust buffers along roads and utilities, account for changes to the boundary and land status, and reflect more accurate measurement available through new GIS technology.
