    Map.pdf
    The document outlines the Surface Management Responsibility map for Idaho, detailing the various federal, state, and private management boundaries. It categorizes land management agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and others operating across the state and neighboring regions. The map indicates areas such as Indian Reservations, National Parks, and Wildlife Refuges, while also highlighting major cities and transportation routes. The primary purpose of this map is to provide a general guide to the jurisdiction over land surfaces as of December 2018. However, it emphasizes that users should not rely solely on its data due to potential inaccuracies, underscoring that the BLM does not guarantee the reliability or completeness of the information. The scale is set at 1:3,000,000, facilitating a broad overview rather than precise navigation. Overall, this document serves as a resource for understanding land management responsibilities in Idaho, which is significant for context in federal grants and local RFPs related to land use and environmental stewardship.
