BdyPlan LMP ManagementArea

Published by U.S. Forest Service | Department of Agriculture | Catalog Last Checked: October 09, 2026 at 04:38 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 27, 2026
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.
