Thanks for posting that! Beautiful.
Seems to correlate very well with the variety of other visual and written reference, though there are assorted minor jigs/jags, and 1 mile from roads tweaks.

Here's the wilderness info page in 2008, which shows a link to the quota report in the form Phil described.
