Wilderness boundary maps The new White Mountain Wilderness Area boundaries are useful to know when you are planning research projects and teaching activities. Motorized equipment and permanent alterations are not allowed in wilderness, and recreational values are emphasized. Although many types of field research/teaching activities are permissible in wilderness areas, there is often a higher level of scrutiny and possibly longer delays in getting permits for the work.
