We are providing a full set of 2015 WEMO DEIS route alternative maps to help ease the difficulty in accessing them via the BLM’s website.
(Please note that a DVD obtained from the BLM is the source of the maps that are posted here. You may order the DVD from the BLM website noted above.)
The maps are in the PDF file format. In order for you to properly use the maps you need to have a copy Adobe Reader (free from Adobe) or Adobe Acrobat Pro (usually included in Adobe Creative Suites). You can download a copy Adobe Reader here. (Note for Mac users, while the pdf files will open in the Preview program included with the Mac operating system, Preview will not allow you view the various layers that show the various route alternatives in the PDFs.
Instructions for finding a map:
To help you locate a specific route designation map, first use the Map Index to focus in on the area you are interested in.
WEMO (West Mojave) is divided into eight “Travel Management Areas” (TMA). Each of these TMAs is divided into a number of route designation area Map Index List, which you find on this page.
To find a specific map that you are interested in:
- Refer to the Map Index from above to get an orientation as to where the map you are interested in is located and note a TMA and sub-area.
- Open the Map Index List below and click on the TMA #/sub-item that you are interested in. (Note that the maps are very large and may take sometime to open.) Alternatively you can “right-click” on the map link so that the map will be downloaded to your computer.
- Downloading the map to your PC and opening it up with Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat Pro if you have that program) should be your preferred alternative as it will allow you to use all of the features of each map. (Note that for Mac users the Preview program will display the map but will not let you view all of the map layers.)
Instructions for using the maps:
This document from the BLM provides you with information on how to access information contained in the maps including viewing the various layers, specifically the route alternatives.
In order to provide comments to the BLM about specific routes you should enable only the map’s route alternative layer you are commenting on, e.g., Alternative 3, zoom into the area you are commenting on and note the relevant route numbers. In some cases a route will not have a designated route number. In such cases you should note the nearest route number and then specify that route as, for example route northwest of route number 71234.
