BWCAW – Minerals Mgmt. Corridor

This data layer indicates the boundary of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) Minerals Management Corridor. It was developed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. State-owned land and minerals within the Corridor are withdrawn from mineral leasing. Criteria used to identify these lands include: lands within one quarter mile of the BWCAW, principal recreational entrances and travel corridors entering the BWCAW, and small surface waters that flow directly into the BWCAW.
