The BLM recently released their preliminary maps for the San Rafael Swell travel plan. We expect a public comment period on this plan soon.
In the episode we discuss how the BLM maps aren't useful for comparing the different alternatives they are considering. Here are two great maps that show the hundreds of routes that could be closed by this plan:
