Recreation emphasis -- concentrated recreation use and development.
Timber emphasis -- provide opportunities for commodity production within ecological constraints.
Range emphasis -- provide opportunities for livestock grazing within ecological constraints.
Private land interface -- lands influenced by nearby private lands and managed cooperatively to meet resource objectives.
Special uses -- activities conducted under special use permits, such as mining and summer homes, and administrative sites such as guard stations or municipal watersheds.
