These maps were created for inclusion within Managers Reports for Bureau of Land Management National Conservation Lands (NLCS) units. Managers Reports are published annually for each NLCS unit, and provide a public-facing, high-level report of the unit’s accomplishments that year. These maps are typically included on the first page of a report, and intend to provide an overview of the park boundaries, recreational opportunities, points of interest, and context within surrounding land management agencies.
New maps were created for newly designated units, including Avi Kwa Ame National Conservation Area, Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni - Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, Numunna Nobe National Conservation Area, and Pistone-Black Mountain National Conservation Area. An updated map was created for Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument due to a boundary expansion.
Maps were created in collaboration with unit managers. Original drafts were developed and tailored in accordance with manager feedback provided in workshop calls. Specific considerations included familiar map projection, display or omittance of sensitive cultural resources, and level of detail in regards to display of off-roading routes.
