Lands Area Statistics

Published by U.S. Forest Service | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: July 28, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-03-20
This dataset fulfills a request from multiple regional units as an operational aid that provides an authoritative companion to the Land Areas Report sliced along multiple administrative and political boundaries. This dataset powers a dynamic and interactive dashboard called Forests by the Numbers. The Forests by the Numbers series is expected to continue with other assets (roads, waterways, recreation areas, etc) to act as a quick reference for internal operations and the public. This dataset covers National Forest System Lands including federally owned units of forest, range, and related land consisting of national forests, purchase units, national grasslands, land utilization project areas, experimental forest areas, experimental range areas, designated experimental areas, other land areas, water areas, and interests in lands that are administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service or designated for administration through the Forest Service. Each polygon is attributed with ownership (USDA Forest Service or Non-FS), wilderness status, Forest Service Administrative jurisdiction and geopolitical membership.
