Well hello there.

Use the list or map on the index page to find a Wilderness, then click the name in the popup box in the top left corner of the map to open the measures page for that Wilderness.

Measures pages show the Wilderness boundary with overlays for Wilderness Character Monitoring measures:

  • Remoteness from development outside wilderness
  • Remoteness from development inside wilderness
  • Nitrogen total deposition trend
  • Sulfur total deposition trend
  • Impaired streams
  • Impaired lakes
  • Watershed condition class
Overlays can be added and removed from the map using the layer control in the top right corner of the page. Clicking on features in an overlay will show related information in the popup box in the top left corner of the page.

Graphs, maps, and tabular data downloads for the selected Wilderness are listed in the downloads tab of the help panel on each measures page.

Don't use any numbers from these pages yet.

Email with any questions or problems.
