Utah Wilderness Proposal HR1500

This dataset represents areas proposed for Wilderness designation by former Utah representative Wayne Owens in U.S. House of Representatives Bill HR1500 (1991). It was commonly referred to as the 5.7 million acres for wilderness. Rep. Owens' staff created this data set by directing the University of Utah, Geography Department DIGIT Lab in modification of the Utah Wilderness Coalition Proposed Wilderness boundaries received digitally from the Wilderness Society. The UWC boundaries were published in Wilderness at the Edge (1990).本数据集涵盖前犹他州众议员韦恩·欧文斯（Wayne Owens）在1991年美国众议院（U.S. House of Representatives）法案HR1500中提议划定为荒野保护地的区域。该提案通常被称为"570万英亩荒野提案"。欧文斯议员的团队通过指导犹他大学地理系DIGIT实验室，对从荒野协会（Wilderness Society）获取的犹他荒野联盟（Utah Wilderness Coalition）拟议荒野边界的数字化数据进行修改，从而构建了本数据集。犹他荒野联盟的边界信息发表于1990年出版的《濒临绝境的荒野》（Wilderness at the Edge）一书。
