The Land Management Planning Management Areas Feature Class provides descriptive and location information about Management Areas within the U.S. Forest Service Boundaries, aggregated into one dataset. This feature class aspires to represent the geospatial boundaries for land allocations identified in land management plans. Since many plans are out-dated and revised under previous planning rules, liberties were taken to fit current plan data into the new data standards. One must look at the land management plan and plan components for the full management direction and to understand actual management complexities., The Land Management Planning Management Areas Feature Class provides descriptive and location information about Management Areas within the U.S. Forest Service Boundaries, aggregated into one dataset.

Contextual Definition:
It is required for every National Forest to have a Land Management Plan (LMP), often referred to as a forest plan. Management Areas are land areas identified within the planning area that have the same set of applicable plan components and typically represent the management emphasis on the landscape. A management area does not have to be spatially contiguous, and it can overlap with Geographic Areas, Designated Areas, and other Management Areas. The Forest Service Handbook states that “geographic areas are based on place, while management areas are based on purpose.” This feature class shows the geospatial extent of each Management Area within the land management plan, with pertinent metadata and includes data from both the 1982 and 2012 planning rules. This schema can also be used as a template to build data regionally or for individual units.
Management Area definition:
A land area identified within the planning area that has the same set of applicable plan components. A management area does not have to be spatially contiguous.
Characteristics:
- Classified based on use, theme, or land type indicated in the plan. - If it is a code, the associated name needs to be populated in the source data fields.
- Each management area needs to be defined in a plan and each polygon with the same management area Name/ID is associated with the same set of plan components.
- Does not have to be spatially contiguous (i.e., can be a single-part or multi-part polygon).
- Can overlap with Geographic Areas, Designated Areas, and/or different Management Area themes.
- Cannot extend outside the land management plan or Administrative Forest boundary., Contextual Definition:
