An area encompassing all the National Forest System lands administered by a Region. The area encompasses private lands, other governmental agency lands. All National Forest System lands fall within one and only one Administrative Region Area. Metadata

An area depicting National Forest System land parcels that have management or use limits placed on them by legal authority. Examples are: National Recreation Area, National Monument, and National Game Refuge. Metadata

The legal status of the area depicting National Forest System land parcels that have management or use limits placed on them by legal authority above the Agency level (e.g. Congress and/or President). Areas that have been designated by Congress, Executive Order, Presidential Proclamation, or an Executive branch Department, excluding National Wilderness and National Wild & Scenic Rivers, with related details including the date of the designation, status of the final boundary description, authority, and land status case and document information. Metadata

A boundary within which National Forest System land parcels have management or use limits placed on them by the Forest Service. Examples include: Archaeological Area, Research Natural Area, and Scenic Area.

Polygons delineating Forest Management Blocks. The layer also contains aggregations of forest management blocks representing other administrative boundaries such as Forest Districts, Work Centres, Forest Management Areas (FMAs), VicForests Adiminstrative areas and an approximation to RFAs based on blocks. This is implemented via the use of Arc/Info region attribute tables.

This dataset fulfills a request from multiple regional units as an operational aid that provides an authoritative companion to the Land Areas Report sliced along multiple administrative and political boundaries. This dataset powers a dynamic and interactive dashboard called Forests by the Numbers. The Forests by the Numbers series is expected to continue with other assets (roads, waterways, recreation areas, etc) to act as a quick reference for internal operations and the public. This dataset covers National Forest System Lands including federally owned units of forest, range, and related land consisting of national forests, purchase units, national grasslands, land utilization project areas, experimental forest areas, experimental range areas, designated experimental areas, other land areas, water areas, and interests in lands that are administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service or designated for administration through the Forest Service. Each polygon is attributed with ownership (USDA Forest Service or Non-FS), wilderness status, Forest Service Administrative jurisdiction and geopolitical membership.

A unit designated by the Secretary of Agriculture for conservation and utilization under Title III of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act.
