The Wilderness Act of 1964 established a National Wilderness Preservation System, and this publication is a

compilation of selected information about every wilderness within this System. For each wilderness, the following

information is given: legally correct wilderness name; public law that established the wilderness; date the enabling

law was signed by the President; acreage designated in the enabling public law; modifying public law or laws that

affected the name, boundary, or administration; current total acreage reported by the administering agency, the

agency or agencies with current administrative authority; administering unit or units within the agency; State or

States in which the wilderness is located. This information is arranged in nine different tables, each arranged and

sorted in different ways to allow the reader to easily find desired information. In addition to this publication, this

information is also available on the World Wide Web site http://www.wilderness.net/nwps in a relational database

that can be queried. Sources for all information included here are described, and exceptions and special cases are

discussed. All the information included in this database has been verified by wilderness specialists within each of

the four agencies with responsibility for managing wilderness. Based on the data in this publication, various trends

in wilderness from 1964 through 1999 are described, including the total number of wildernesses, acres of

wilderness, agency administration, size of individual wildernesses, and State distribution. An appendix of all public

laws establishing or modifying wilderness is included. For each public law, the following information is also given:

the States affected by that law, the management agencies designated by that law, the number of wilderness study

areas designated (if any), and whether special provisions were included in that law.

National Wilderness Preservation 

System Database: Key Attributes 

and Trends, 1964 Through 1999

Introduction 

The Wilderness Act of 1964 established a National 

Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) "to secure 

for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness." The 1964 Act established 9.1 million acres of 

Forest Service land in 54 wildernesses. Now, after 104 

pieces of legislation (see Appendix A), the NWPS is 

composed of over 104 million acres in 628 wildernesses, across 44 States, and administered by four 

Federal agencies: the USDA Forest Service (FS), and 

the USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish 

and Wildlife Service (FWS), and the National Park 

Service (NPS). 

There are three primary reasons why an NWPS 

Database is needed. First, previous published compilations ofNWPS information (Reed 1987,1988; Browning and others 1988; Rosenberg 1994) are out of date. 

Second, with four independent agencies and nearly 

constant legislative and administrative changes to the 

wilderness system, there is a lack of consistency and 

accuracy in reporting and maintaining information 

about the NWPS. And third, with expanding socioeconomic pressures to develop currently undeveloped 

Federal lands, there is increasing interest and need 

from both public and private sectors for a single source 

of reliable information on the key attributes of wildernesses nationwide. 

The purpose of this NWPS Database is to provide a 

single source for consistent, accurate, and current as 

well as historical information about the wildernesses 

in the NWPS in an accessible and easy-to-use format, 

Every effort has been made to make this NWPS 

Database as accurate as possible, relying on verifiable 

information sources that have been validated and 

cross-checked. The purpose of this publication is to 

describe the construction of this Database, to provide 

this information in printed form, and to summarize 

general trends in the administration and distribution 

of wilderness over the 35 year history of the NWPS. 

This publication is also available at the World Wide 

Web site http:llwww.wilderness.net/nwps. All NWPS 

data at this internet site are in a relational database 

that allows querying, sorting, and generating reports 

that can be downloaded into the user's computer 

system. On-line instructions guide users through this 

relational database. 

Our intent is that this Database be useful for those 

in need of accurate wilderness information. Such information can be used for a variety of purposes. For 

example, managers, researchers, or advocates can 

develop an in-depth understanding about the NWPS 

or about a specific wilderness or group ofwildernesses. 

We illustrate some of these uses below in an analysis 

of historical trends in wilderness designation, as well 

as analyses of current patterns in geographic and 

agency representation, size-class distribution, and 

State distribution. When combined with information 

that is not part of this Database, such as data on 

recreation use, demographic and socio-economic data, 

or ecological information, relationships between wilderness and these other attributes may be analyzed. 

In addition, this NWPS Database provides a sound 

baseline to which information about changes to existing wildernesses or the designation of new wildernesses may be added, and from which trends and 

patterns can be analyzed in the future. 

This summary is organized by first describing the 

content and structure of the nine component spreadsheets. The sources used in compiling this information are then described. We show where inconsistencies exist between legislative and agency sources, and 

in these situations we explain our choices of which 

data were used, as well as exceptions to these choices 

and special cases. We next describe the number of 

wildernesses that are within the NWPS, and discuss 

differences between this information and other wilderness compilations. Finally, we demonstrate how 

these data can be used by analyzing some major 

trends in wilderness designation and distribution 

across the NWPS. 

USDA Forest Service Gen Tech Rep. RMRS-GTR-18-Revised Edition. 2000 
Content and Organization of the 

Database 

This NWPS Database includes the following information for every wilderness: 

Legally correct name cited in the enabling public 

law 

Public law that established the wilderness 

Date the enabling law was signed by the 

President 

Acreage designated in the enabling public law 

Modifying public law or laws that affect the name, 

boundary, or administration 

Current total acreage reported by the administering agency 

Agency or agencies with administrative authority 

Administering units within each agency 

State or States in which the wilderness is located 

Different users have different needs for how this 

information is organized, and we present this information in a variety of different formats to facilitate access 

to the desired data. Each bulleted entry below identifies a distinct spreadsheet, showing the name of the 

spreadsheet, its contents, and how the spreadsheet 

was sorted. 

Wilderness Name 

- composed of wilderness name, agency, State, 

year designated and current total acreage 

- sorted alphabetically by wilderness name 

Current BLM Acreages 

- composed of wilderness name, State, administrative unit within the BLM, and current 

acreage within each administrative unit 

- sorted alphabetically by State and then alphabetically by wilderness name 

Current FS Acreages 

- composed ofwilderness name, State, administrative unit within the FS, and current acreage within each administrative unit 

- sorted by State, then alphabetically by wilderness name, and by administrative unit 

Current FWS Acreages 

- composed of wilderness name, State, administrative unit within the FWS, and current acreage within each administrative unit 

- sorted by State, then alphabetically by wilderness name, and by administrative unit 

Current NPS Acreages 

- composed of wilderness name, State, administrative unit within the NPS, and current acreage within each administrative unit 

- sorted by State, then alphabetically by wilderness name, and by administrative unit 

Current State Acreages 

- composed of wilderness name, agency, administrative unit, current acreage within each 

administrative unit, and total State acreage 

- sorted by State, then alphabetically by wilderness name, agency, and administrative unit 

Public Laws and Acreages 

- composed of wilderness name, agency, State, 

establishing and modifying public laws, date 

established, and acreage designated by the 

public law 

- sorted by agency, then State, alphabetically 

by wilderness name, and chronologically by 

date established 

Administrative Units of the BLM 

- composed of wilderness name, State, and the 

administrative hierarchy to its lowest applicable level 

- sorted alphabetically by State, wilderness 

name and administrative unit 

Administrative Units of the FS 

- composed of wilderness name, State, region, 

and the administrative hierarchy to its lowest 

level responsible for that wilderness 

- sorted alphabetically by region, State, wilderness name, and administrative unit 

In most cases, the purpose for a particular spreadsheet is obvious from its content and sorting. The last 

two spreadsheets, Administrative Units of the BLM 

and FS, are included because these agencies have finer 

levels of administration for their wildernesses, unlike 

the FWS and NPS which have only a single level of 

administration. Acreages are not available at this 

finer level of administration, and while accurate as of 

the date of publication, the administrative offices 

responsible for a particular wilderness and the names 

of these offices can change rapidly. 

Several abbreviations are used within the spreadsheets to save space, including the above agency abbreviations and the following: FO (Field Office), NF 

(National Forest), NWR (National Wildlife Refuge), 

NP (National Park), NP& P (National Park and Preserve), NM (National Monument), NSS (National Seashore), RD (Ranger District), RA (Resource Area), and 

NR (National Recreation Area). 

Sources of Information 

An important aspect of ensuring that this NWPS 

Database is the most accurate and current source for 

wilderness information was determining which sources 

to rely on for different types of wilderness data. This 

database refers to both legal and administrative documents for accurate and legally binding information. 

USDA Forest Service Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-18-Revised Edition. 2000 
Sources include government documents, agency publications, and communications with agency personnel. 

All of the documents used in this NWPS Database are 

listed in the References and Appendices, including all 

of the Public Laws and other government documents 

used to support these data. Due to space restrictions, 

specific sources used for every entry in this Database 

are not included here. The authors may be contacted 

for any of this information. 

In addition, wilderness information is in a constant 

state of flux. Every year, Congress may establish new 

wildernesses and issue legislation redrawing wilderness boundaries and adding or subtracting acreage. 

Ongoing mapping efforts also produce new and more 

accurate data on wilderness size. Accordingly, this 

database can only provide a snapshot of the NWPS as 

it stood in 1999. 

The Federal laws which established units of the 

NWPS, beginning with the Wilderness Act of 1964 and 

including all subsequent wilderness legislation, are 

the legally correct source for the wilderness names, 

locations, original acreage, and dates of designation. 

In some cases, discrepancies exist between the name 

commonly used for a wilderness, and the name listed 

in the enabling legislation. Unless an official decision 

was made to change the public law name, either 

administratively or legislatively, the name listed in 

the public law is legally binding and is used here. The 

accuracy of the public law numbers listed for each 

agency were checked against Title 16 of the U.S. Code 

(19981, which lists all units of the NWPS, the laws 

affecting them, and dates of enactment. Administrative information in this Database, including administering agency, administrative units, and current acreage for every wilderness, was derived from data 

supplied by the four land management agencies. 

This NWPS Database distinguishes between public 

law acreage, which is the acreage listed in the enabling 

legislation, and the current acreage, which is supplied 

by the administering agencies. The public law acreage 

for a given wilderness is merely an approximation. 

When a wilderness is officially designated, the legislative language generally reads like the following excerpt from Public Law 96-550 (Section 102(a)(l)): 

certain lands in the Gila National Forest, New Mexico, which 

con~prise approxinzately two hundred and eleven thousand 

three hundred acres, as generally depicted on a map entitled 

"Aldo Leopold Wilderness-Proposed" dated August 1980, 

and which shall be known as the Aldo Leopold Wilderness. 

[emphasis added] 

Once an area becomes part of the NWPS, the managing agencies usually survey or map it and update the 

legislated acreage with more accurate information. In 

the above example, the Forest Service lists the acreage 

for the Aldo Leopold wilderness as 202,016 acres, a 

difference of over 9,000 acres from the public law 

acreage. 

Current wilderness acreages within this database 

do not include private and State inholdings. Data on 

the exact size of wilderness inholdings within individual wildernesses is not uniformly available from 

the managing agencies. However, the omission of 

inholding acres accounts for some of the large discrepancies between public law acreage and current acreage. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness 

(BWCA) is a good example. Initially designated wilderness in 1964, in 1978 Public Law 95-495 amended 

the size of the BWCA, listing the total acreage for the 

area as 1,075,500. The current Forest Service acreage 

for the BWCA is 809,974, as is listed in this database. 

This substantial difference can at least in part be 

attributed to inholdings, according to Forest Service 

personnel. However, the Forest Service does not have 

specific data on inholding acreages for this and many 

other wildernesses. 

While the original public law acreage is important 

from a historical perspective, the administrative acreage is considered the most accurate and up to date. The 

primary sources for current acreages are the latest 

agency reports. After the information from these 

sources was compiled, the database was distributed to 

regional and national wilderness specialists in each of 

the agencies (see appendix B). The feedback they 

provided alerted us to anomalies of specific areas and 

recent acreage changes. Where a wilderness crosses 

State boundaries (table I), or where multiple agencies 

have jurisdiction for a single wilderness (table 2), 

there is greater potential for discrepancies in the total 

acreage. Twenty-one wildernesses are administered 

by more than one agency; 19 of these are administered

by the Forest Service and the BLM, while one is 

administered by the FS and the FWS, and another is 

administered by the FS and NPS. Nineteen wildernesses cross State boundaries; of these, 18 occur in two 

States, and one wilderness occurs in three States. 

Exceptions and Special Cases 

While the previous section sets forth the guidelines 

used for choosing accurate data, there are exceptions 

to these general rules. Many of these exceptions concern the FS, partly because the FS has the greatest 

number of wilderness units and therefore more opportunities for changes affecting the wilderness and its 

administration. 

Although enabling legislation is the legally binding 

source for most wilderness information, there are 

some cases where other sources were used. The most 

notable case is the acreage of the original 54 wilderness units designated by the Wilderness Act of 1964. 

The Act, which was signed by President Lyndon 

Johnson on September 3,1964, immediately made all 

Forest Service "wilderness," "wild," and "canoe" areas 

wilderness units of the NWPS. However, the legislation did not include either a list of these units or their 

acreage. Therefore the source for these public law 

acreages was not the act itself. It was not until February 8,1965, that the President submitted a "Message 

to the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs" accompanying the Department of Agriculture's 

Report on these areas (U.S. Congress House of Representatives 1965). The "Report of the Secretary of 

Agriculture on the Status of National Forest Units of 

the National Wilderness Preservation System" included a list of wilderness acreages along with a status 

report on the agency's progress in developing regulations for the new system of wilderness. Appendix B of 

the report lists the name, location, description, and 

size of each wilderness unit. 

Wilderness names have changed throughout the 

history of the system both through legislative and 

administrative action. Legislative action is necessary 

to legally change a wilderness or administrative unit 

name. Wilderness names that have changed through 

Congressional mandate are shown in table 3. In addition, there are instances where the administrative 

usage of an alternative name is so widespread that the 

administrative name is used in this Database. In the 

case of the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness, the name 

change was officially made by the managing agency 

and the U.S. Board of Geographic Names (1978), while 

the rest are the result of standard usage. The Board of 

Geographic Names (BGN) is a Federal entity created 

in 1890 to establish and maintain uniform geographic 

name usage within the government. It is composed of 

representatives of Federal agencies and acts as a 

central authority to which all name questions and 

problems are directed. 

The name of the Forest Service's Anaconda Pintler 

Wilderness in Montana was the subject of contention 

for many years because different spellings of both the 

wilderness name and other features with the same 

name were used legislatively, administratively, and 

publicly. The wilderness was officially designated as 

the "Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness" by the Wilderness 

Act of 1964. However, many maps and signs used the 

spelling "Pintlar" for the peak, pass, meadows, and 

other features of the same name. The family for which 

these features were named uses the spelling "Pintler" 

and had been trying unsuccessfully for years to have 

the name officially changed. In 1978, the Forest Service agreed to change the spellings from Pintlar to 

Pintler and at the same time removed the hyphen from 

the wilderness name. This was an officially documented decision approved by the BGN (Decision List 

7803), and the spelling Anaconda Pintler is used in 

this Database. 

Several National Forests have been administratively combined, resulting in name changes that are 

universally accepted, although not Congressionally 

mandated. This database uses the combined names so 

that the information is more easily transferred to onthe-ground situations. This occurs in the following 

National Forests: Apache-Sitgreaves in Arizona, 

Beaverhead-Deerlodge in Montana, Bridger-Teton in 

Wyoming, Humbolt-Toiyabe in California and Nevada,

and Wasatch-Cache in Utah. Although used here, 

these changes are not incorporated into Land Areas of 

the Natiorzal Forest System, the official Forest Service 

land data publication. Forest Service administration 

of wildernesses at the Ranger District level is also 

reported in this Database, but as with the National 

Forests, District-level administration changes over 

time. 

A change that is accepted by the Forest Service Land 

Areas publication but is not legislatively supported 

involves the Headwaters Wilderness in Wisconsin. 

Three wildernesses, Headwaters, Shelp Lake, and 

Kzmball Creek, were designated by Public Law 98-321 

in 1984. The three areas were designated separately 

because they are separated by a road that did not fit 

the characteristics of a potential wilderness. They 

have always been managed as one unit, however, and 

are now referred to collectively as the Headwaters 

Wilderness. 

Another interesting situation involves two wildernesses on the Francis Marion National Forest in South 

Carolina. In 1980, Public Law 96-560 named two 

different wilderness study areas "Wambaw Swamp 

Wilderness." Section 201(e) of the public law states 

that the lands "which comprise approximately 5,100 

acres.. .depicted on a map entitled 'Wambaw Swamp 

Wilderness-Proposed', dated May 1980.. .shall be known 

as the Wambaw Swamp Wilderness." Subsequently, 

Section 201(g) designates another 5,100 acres known 

previously as "Little Wambaw Swamp WildernessProposed" as the Wambaw Swamp Wilderness as well. 

While just the Wambaw Swamp is listed in the U.S. 

Code list of wildernesses, the FS Land Areas of the 

National Forest System book includes both a Wambaw 

Swamp and a Little Wambaw Swamp. The Wilderness 

Specialist from Forest Service Region 8 asserts that 

the mistake is in the public law, and that there are in 

fact two different wildernesses. This argument is bolstered by the fact that the two areas are not even 

contiguous. The agency's interpretation has been accepted and this database includes both wildernesses. 

USDA Forest Service Gen Tech Rep. RMRS-GTR-18-Revised Edition. 2000 
Number of Wildernesses in the 

National Wilderness Preservation 

System 

At the time of publication, there are 628 wildernesses in the NWPS. This number differs from figures 

quoted in other wilderness databases due in part to the 

changes explained above, recent legislative changes, 

and the inclusion of inaccurate information in previous lists. Since the publication of the.first edition of the 

NWPS Database in 1998 (RMRS-GTR-18) three new 

wilderness laws have been passed and four new areas 

have been created. One recent addition is the Opal 

Creek Wilderness administered by the FS in Oregon. 

Although this wilderness was conditionally established by the Oregon Resources Conservation Act of 

1996, these conditions were not met until November of 

1998 when the area officially joined the system. The 

three new wilderness laws were passed during the last 

3 months of 1999. These laws established two new 

BLM wildernesses; the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness in 

Colorado and the Otay Mountain Wilderness in California; and one FS wilderness, the Dugger Mountain 

Wilderness in Alabama. 

A wilderness that is missing from many NWPS 

descriptions is the Park Service's Chiricahua National 

Monument Wilderness in Arizona. The Forest Service 

manages the Chiricahua Wilderness on the Coronado 

National Forest in Arizona. This, however, is a separate wilderness, according to the U.S. Code, and was 

designated by a different public law. Some databases 

erroneously list only one Chiricahua wilderness managed by the two agencies. 

Sometimes an agency will refer to different portions 

of the same wilderness as different wilderness units. 

Previous compilations of wilderness information have 

in some cases erroneously included these administrative units as separate wildernesses. This was the case 

with three Fish and Wildlife Service wildernesses: 

Bosque del Apache Wilderness in New Mexico, Wichita 

Mountains Wilderness in Oklahoma, and Moosehorn 

Wilderness in Maine (fig. 1). The "Moosehorn Wilderness (Baring Unit)" also in Maine, however, is a separate wilderness and is listed as such in the U.S. Code. 

Only Congressionally designated wildernesses are 

included in this database. Where a wilderness is 

administered by more than one agency, the separately 

managed areas are referred to in this text as wilderness units. When reporting or discussing the number 

of wildernesses in the nation, it is important to distinguish the total number of wildernesses in the NWPS 

from the total number of wilderness units. The total 

number of wilderness units administered by all four 

agencies is 649 rather than 628, because 21 wildernesses are jointly administered by more than one 

agency (see table 2). Each of these 21 wildernesses are

Trends in Wilderness: I964 through 

1999 

The information provided by this Database can be 

used for many purposes. Along with providing specific 

data about a particular wilderness, State, or agency, 

the information in this NWPS Database allows the 

user to analyze trends across the system and over 

time. The following analysis of general trends provides an overview of the NWPS and its 35 year development from 1964 to 1999. 

Total Number and Acres 

The number of wildernesses established (fig. 2) and 

acres designated (fig. 3) by each Congress shows considerable yearly variation. There were only nine individual years since passage of the Wilderness Act when 

no wildernesses were designated, and 1965 to 1967 

was the only period of three consecutive years in which 

no wilderness legislation was passed by Congress. In 

1984, 175 wildernesses were established, more than 

double any other year's addition. Despite the record 

number of new wildernesses in 1984, the largest number of wilderness acres was designated in 1980 with 

passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, which added over 56 million acres to the 

NWPS. Combined with other wilderness laws passed 

that year, nearly 61 million acres of wilderness were 

designated in 1980, more than six times the number of 

acres passed in any other year. These two large additions in 1980 and in 1984, of acres and areas respectively, clearly show in the cumulative yearly total of

additions to already designated wildernesses, 

separate administrative units of the same wilderness when designated that way, and it only lists 

years that acreage was added; years in which 

legislation only made name changes or acreage

total of wilderness acres (fig. 5). As of 1999, the 628 

designated wildernesses occur on 104,739,168 acres. 

This amount of wilderness is 4.52 percent of the land 

area of the entire United States. In the lower 48 

conterminous States, wilderness occupies 2.40 percent of the land area.

Agency Administration 

The cumulative total number ofwildernesses within 

each agency over the 34 year history of the NWPS is 

shown in figure 4. For the first 4 years of the NWPS, 

there were 54 Forest Service wildernesses, with six 

added in 1968 and two more added in 1969. In 1970, 

FWS and NPS wildernesses were added, bringing the 

total number of wildernesses to 85. The following 

decade saw steady additions to all four agencies. In 

1984 the number of FS wildernesses more than doubled, 

from 187 to 395, and the number of BLM wildernesses 

increased more than five times, from three to 16. In 

1990, BLM wilderness again more than tripled, from 

18 to 57. Passage of the California Desert Protection 

Act of 1994 more than doubled the number of BLM 

wildernesses to 129. 

The cumulative total number of wilderness acres 

within each agency over the history of the NWPS is 

shown in figure 5. The 54 Forest Service wildernesses 

created in 1964 comprised 9,139,721 acres. In 1970, 

nearly 100,000 FWS acres and slightly over 93,000 

NPS acres were added to the NWPS. In 1974, FWS 

wilderness acreage increased 4 and a half times to 

nearly 443,000 acres. Passage of the Alaska National 

Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 increased 

FWS wilderness acreage more than 28 times to 

19,243,811 acres, and NPS acreage nearly 12 times to 

35,331,000 acres. Wilderness acreage in the BLM 

increased nearly six and a half times in 1984, and 

increased again by more than three times in 1990 and 

by the same amount in 1994. 

Comparing the current number of wildernesses and 

acres within the NWPS among the four wilderness 

agencies (table 4) shows that the NPS has the smallest 

number of wildernesses, 44 (7 percent of the NWPS), 

and the greatest amount of wilderness acreage, approximately 44 million acres (42 percent of the NWPS). 

The Forest Service manages the largest number of 

wildernesses, 400 (62 percent), with nearly 35 million 

acres (33 percent). The FWS manages 71 wildernesses 

(1 1 percent) with over 20 million acres (20 percent), and 

the BLM manages 133 (20 percent) with a little over 5 

million acres (5 percent). Within just the conterminous 

lower 48 States, the Forest Service manages the greatest amount of wilderness, approximately 29 million 

acres (63 percent of the NWPS in the conterminous 

States), the NPS manages slightly over 10 million acres 

(22 percent), the BLM manages 5.2 million acres (11 

percent), and the FWS manages 2 million acres, the 

smallest amount of wilderness in the lower 48 States. 

Comparing the number of wilderness acres within 

an agency to that agency's total acreage (fig. 6) shows 

that just under 2 percent of BLM land is wilderness, 

while nearly 57 percent of NPS land is designated 

wilderness. The FS and FWS fall between these extremes, with a little over 18 percent and 22 percent, 

respectively, of agency land in designated wilderness. 

Table 4-Agency administration of the NWPS. The number of units managed by each agency does not add 

up to the total number of wildernesses because some areas are managed by multiple agencies.

Size of Individual Wildernesses 

The size class distribution of all wildernesses within 

the NWPS also reveals interesting trends (fig. 7). 

There are four wildernesses with over 5 million acres, 

all in Alaska. The largest wilderness in the NWPS is 

the National Park Service's Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness with 9,676,994 acres, larger than the entire 

original NWPS of 1964, and 9.3 percent of the entire 

NWPS. The largest wilderness outside ofAlaska is the 

National Park Service's Death Valley Wilderness in 

California and Nevada at 3,253,028 acres. The second 

largest wilderness in the conterminous 48 States is the 

Forest Service's and BLM's Frank Church-River of No 

Return Wilderness in Idaho at 2,366,698 acres. 

Nineteen wildernesses (3 percent of the NWPS) are 

more than 1 million acres, while 124 wildernesses (20 

percent of the NWPS) are more than 100,000 acres. 

The 10,000 to 50,000 acres size class has the greatest 

number of wildernesses, with 262 units, or 42 percent 

of the NWPS. 

Although the Wilderness Act of 1964 defined wilderness, in part, as an area that is "at least five thousand 

acres of land or is of sufficient size as to make practicable 

its preservation and use in an unimpaired condition" 

(P.L. 88-77 Sec. 2(c)(3)), there are now 73 wilderness 

units smaller than 5,000 acres. Of these, 21 are smaller 

than 1,000 acres: 17 are managed by the FWS and four 

by the Forest Service. The smallest wilderness is the 

FWS 5.5 acre Pelican Island Wilderness in Florida. In 

the past, a BLM administered 5 acre unit of the larger 

Oregon Island Wilderness was considered the smallest 

wilderness. The Oregon Resources Conservation Act of 

1996 subsumed this small administrative unit into the 

larger FWS Oregon Islands Wilderness. 

State Distribution 

The percentage of wilderness in each State is shown 

in figure 8. Only Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, and Rhode Island lack designated 

wilderness. Alaska has the greatest percentage of 

wilderness (15.4 percent), followed closely by California (13.8 percent). Not only does Alaska have the 

greatest proportion of its land in wilderness, the 

58,182,216 acres ofwilderness in Alaska make up over 

55 percent of the acreage of the entire NWPS. Florida 

has the most wildernesses acreage of any Eastern 

State. Two States, Ohio and New York, have less than 

one one-hundredth of a percent of wilderness.

Percent Wilderness 

Figure 8-Percentage of State area that is wilderness. State acreages are 

the total acreage including land and water, derived from the U.S. Department of Commerce (1 980). 

Wilderness acreage in the 11 Western States of 

Washington, Oregon California, Arizona, New Mexico, 

Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and 

Idaho comprises slightly over 40 percent of the entire 

NWPS, and nearly 91 percent of the NWPS in the 

lower 48 conterminous States. Western wildernesses 

also comprise 1.82 percent of the land area of the entire 

United States, and 2.18 percent of the land area of the 

conterminous States. Wilderness acreage in the Eastern States together coniprises slightly more than 4 

percent of the entire NWPS, and 9.5 percent of the 

NWPS in the lower 48 States. These Eastern wildernesses also comprise 0.19 percent of the land area of 

the entire United States, and 0.23 percent of the land 

area of the conterminous States. 

It is commonly assumed that there are many small 

wildernesses in the Eastern States compared to a few, 

large wildernesses in the West. This assumption is only 

partially valid: Eastern wildernesses are smaller, while 

the Western States have both a greater number and 

larger wildernesses. Western States have an average of 

37 wildernesses per State, compared to an average of 

five wildernesses per State in the East. Western States 

have an average of 5.4 percent of their land area in 

wilderness, compared to the Eastern States average of 

0.5 percent land area in wilderness. The average size of 

a wilderness in the Western States is 101,610 acres, 

compared to 23,657 acres in the Eastern States. These 

comparisons show that, compared to the Eastern States, 

Western States have nearly 6.5 times the average 

number of wildernesses per State, nearly 11 times the 

average proportion of their State land area in wilderness, and that Western wildernesses are over four 

times the average size of Eastern wildernesses.

Appendix A: Public Laws 

All public laws designating and affecting wilderness are listed in chronological order below. Each law is followed 

by a list of four potential items, separated by a (*): States affected by that law; management agencies designated 

by that law; the number of wilderness study areas (WSAs) designated, if any; and whether special provisions 

apply. The term "special provisions" as used here refers to specific management directions that apply only to the 

wildernesses designated by the particular act. These usually reflect unique circumstances and may be exceptions 

to provisions of the Wilderness Act of 1964. If one of these items is not included, it does not apply to that law. For 

example, the first law listed below, the Wilderness Act, affected 12 States, designated the USDA Forest Service 

as the managing agency for all these wildernesses, designated no Wilderness Study Areas, and included special 

management provisions.

The Rocky Mountain Research Station develops scientific information and technology to improve management, protection, and use of

the forests and rangelands. Research is designed to meet the needs

of National Forest managers, Federal and State agencies, public and

private organizations, academic institutions, industry, and individuals.

Studies accelerate solutions to problems involving ecosystems,

range, forests, water, recreation, fire, resource inventory, land reclamation, community sustainability, forest engineering technology,

multiple use economics, wildlife and fish habitat, and forest insects

and diseases. Studies are conducted cooperatively, and applications

may be found worldwide.
