Attachment 16_Map Rail Ridge 2026 Planting Unit_18.pdf

This document is a map for the Rail Ridge Planting 2026 project located in the Malheur National Forest. Unit 18, the focus of this planting operation, encompasses 40 acres with a target of 195 trees per acre (TPA) to be planted at an average spacing of 15x15 feet. The species composition is 100% Ponderosa Pine (PIPO). The map displays the unit boundaries outlined in green, with small tree symbols indicating planned planting locations distributed throughout the designated area.

The document includes topographic features such as 100-foot and 500-foot contour lines, stream categories (uncategorized, Category 1, 2, and 4 streams shown with dashed blue lines), and road status designations ranging from closed roads to high-clearance vehicle routes to roads suitable for passenger cars with varying degrees of user comfort. The project area is located in Township 14 South, Range 28 East, spanning sections 17, 18, 19, and 20. This planning document serves as a spatial reference for implementation of the 2026 reforestation effort on Forest Service lands.
