5-Monroe Canyon Aerial Seeding LE Map Topo 2025.pdf

This image is a topographical map depicting the Monroe Canyon Fire Aerial Seeding Lower Elevation (LE) project for 2025, covering an estimated 15,337 acres. The map shows multiple land management areas color-coded by jurisdiction: Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in teal, State Institutional Trust Lands (SITLA) in yellow, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in orange, and Private Lower Elevation lands in red. The map illustrates the geographic distribution of planned aerial seeding efforts across different land ownership types, with the majority of the seeding concentrated in a complex, interconnected pattern in the central part of the mapped region.

The aerial seeding project appears to be a collaborative effort across multiple land management agencies, targeting post-fire restoration and vegetation rehabilitation. The color-coded zones suggest a coordinated approach to reseeding burned areas, with each agency responsible for seeding within their respective jurisdictional boundaries. The total project area of 15,337 acres indicates a significant landscape-level restoration initiative, likely aimed at preventing erosion, restoring native vegetation, and mitigating potential environmental consequences of the Monroe Canyon Fire.
