This volume gives a comprehensive overview of wilderness mapping, and in doing so covers the conceptual and philosophical foundations, techniques and methodological approaches, and applications at a variety of spatial scales. The Editors have brought together a range of contributors who are both experts in their field and cutting-edge thinkers in the wilderness and spatial mapping domain. Spatial information technology and mapping science is a rapidly expanding and a developing field and so it is expected to be able to add to this volume in the future. This book provides a record of the "state of the art" and will enable the reader to follow this lead and map his/her own wilderness.

The recent development of an interagency strategy to monitor wilderness character allows on the ground ground managers and decision makers to assess whether stewardship actions for an individual wilderness are fulfilling the mandate to preserve wilderness character. By using credible data that are consistently collected, one can assess how wilderness character changes over time and evaluate how stewardship actions affect trends in wilderness character. As most of these data depict spatial features in wilderness, this study investigates whether a wilderness character map can be developed to provide a spatially explicit understanding of these changes and trends over time.
