A06_FY25_26_Mastication_MAP.pdf

The document is a geospatial map depicting mastication treatment lines for the Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) for fiscal years 2025-2026. The map shows approximately 48 miles of trail mastication across the preserve, with yellow lines indicating mastication treatment areas and green lines representing hiking and ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) trails. The map covers the entire Big Cypress National Preserve boundary, marked by an orange outline, and includes mile markers, various road types (minor and major), and key geographic locations such as Bear Island Road, Lancaster, and Interstate 75.

The map is part of a federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number: 140PS125Q0022) issued by the Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region. The project's primary objectives include creating defensible space around critical areas, maintaining existing fire breaks, installing new firebreaks, and reducing hazardous fuel loading within the preserve. The detailed map provides a comprehensive visual guide for the planned mastication work, showing the precise locations and extent of the treatment lines across the preserve's complex terrain.
