[Talk-us] Wilderness areas separate from forest?

[Tod Fitch]

If I am looking at the map data correctly, it seem that at least some designated wilderness areas are excluded from the forest that they are in. For example the Chumash Wilderness [1] seems to have its border as an outer on the Los Padres National Forest [2].

This does not seem correct to me. In this specific case the wilderness is administered as part of the Mt. Pinos Ranger District of the Los Padres National Forest. I believe the same situation exists with the San Mateo Wilderness in the Cleveland National Forest.

What is our tagging policy on this? Should the wilderness be shown as part of the forest that contains it? (I realize there may be wilderness areas that cover multiple forests but the usual case is that a wilderness area is a subset of a forest both geographically and administratively.

Comments?

Thanks
Tod
