Each polygon is one land-status transaction for a designated river area, with action date, boundary-description status, official vs GIS acres and BLM serial number. For general river-segment mapping, the generalized Wild and Scenic Rivers layer is the simpler choice.

This dataset is intended for read-only use. The boundaries in this data set provide detailed information suitable for advanced land status mapping and analysis. In comparison to the WildScenicRiverStatus dataset, the WildScenicRiver dataset provides a more general view of Wild and Scenic River segments that 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.
