Managing the 1994 designation of 69 California desert wilderness areas spanning National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service lands with existing mining, grazing, private, and State lands; rights-of-way; endangered species; and historic and prehistoric sites, as well as a growing recreational community, is a complex, dramatic, and dynamic task. An innovative combination of GIS and intelligent HTML helps everyone see relationships, make decisions, document progress, and teach others as part of a successful effort toward "seamless management."
Using a variety of visuals, walk the legal boundaries, see successful signing and reclamation techniques over time, view resource values and land status to improve the quality of management decisions, and make all the information available to private, local, regional, and national groups for education and training opportunities.
