  Description
    Abstract:
        National Forest System lands inventoried as of 1993, for
        planning purposes as roadless areas. This inventory is based
        on forest plans revisions in progress where the agency has
        established an inventory (with a public review), that are
        completed or adopted by an agency. 
    Purpose:
        President's roadless initiative, October 1999.

  Access_Constraints:
        User needs to exercise caution regarding the spatial
        accuracy of these data. The source scales can vary from
        1:100,000 to 1:168,960. Features cannot be expected to
        align. The RAREII or appropiate planning documents are
        ultimately the official version of inventoried roadless
        areas. 
  Use_Constraints:
        The Forest Service uses the most current and complete data 
        available. GIS data and product accuracy may vary. They may
        be: developed from the sources of differing accuracy,
        accurate only at certain scales, based on modeling or 
        interpretation, incomplete while being created or revised, 
        etc. Using GIS products for purposes other than those for
        which they were created, may yield inaccurate or misleading
        results. The Forest Service reserves the right to correct, 
        update, modify, or replace, GIS products without 
        notification.
