We have previously looked at US National Parks, and other public lands in the path of totality for the 2045 total solar eclipse. Let’s extend the concept to the US National Conservation Area locations that are in the path of totality for the 2045 solar eclipse!

Restrictions vary between these conservation areas, but generally they are not leased or sold under mining laws and motorized vehicle use is restricted, unlike many other BLM areas. National Conservation Area is a designation for certain protected areas in the United States. They are nature conservation areas managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the National Landscape Conservation System.

Here are the areas similar to Conservation Areas. These aren’t conservation areas, but are very similar.

Area	Location	Size	Totality Length	Totality Time

Here’s a map of the National Wilderness areas! The ones in purple are the ones that are like National Conservation areas, while the ones in red are the national conservation areas.
