Schedule and Release Dates
LF National, the first LF suite of products and our original base map, was delivered in 2009. It was updated four times to account for landscape disturbances and current conditions. Then a new base map or remapping of the LF product suite (LF 2016 Remap) was released from 2019-2021. The first large update to this new base map, LF 2020, was released incrementally in 2022.
