With a new official inventory of Bureau of Land Management wilderness in Utah, additional wilderness studies for the national forests to accompany the second round of forest plans, and new/revised interest-group sponsored inventories, the Utah wilderness issue is increasingly complex. There have been more than a dozen legislative proposals in the last 15 years.

The Digital Atlas of Utah Wilderness, distributed on CD-ROM, will be a user-friendly guide to spatial data and original sources of information. Decision makers and members of the public will be able to search for relevant facts, view static maps, and create interactive maps.
