Northwest Forest Plan Key Watersheds 2002

This theme shows the Key Watersheds that are located onBLM lands and adjacent Forest Service Lands, as identified during the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment effort (Northwest Forest Plan-Record of Decision 1994). The initialmapping done in 1994 was a very generalized representation and was done prior to the development of the interagency standard 5th and 6th field watershed boundaries.The line work has been made coincident with the 5th and 6th field watershed lines where the Key Watershed Boundaries clearly intended to use a watershed as the boundary. District personnel have reviewedthese edits to conform to the 5th and 6th field boundariesand have incorporated other edits tofollow operationally identifiable features.This theme reflects the management approach approved in the Record of Decision to the 1995 BLM Resource Management Plans.
