Perhaps I'm missing it... but I don't recall seeing info for Upper Missouri River Breaks yet. I'll assume the info from the RMP is current and correct unless told otherwise.

All: Lesley Robinson, Rep. Gianforte's State Director, has a meeting with Jon on Wednesday afternoon. One of the subjects she wants to talk about is WSAs. I reached out to our GIS staff here in the State Office, who was able to provide me a nice map and an Excel spreadsheet with some WSA info. I was warned that the acreage was based on GIS shape info and would NOT agree with "actual" acreage figures. After sampling some RMPs online, I also noticed the Wilderness recommendation "suitability" may not be right in all cases in the GIS database.
