Attachment 23_Map Rail Ridge 2026 Planting Unit_44.pdf

This document is a project map for the Rail Ridge Planting 2026 project on the Malheur National Forest. Unit 44 comprises 42 acres designated for reforestation with a target planting density of 150 trees per acre at 17x17 foot spacing. The species composition specifies 90% Ponderosa Pine (PIPO) and 10% Douglas-fir (PSME). The map identifies Unit 44's boundaries, location within Township 14 South, Range 28 East, and its proximity to streams categorized by regulatory classification (uncategorized, Category 1, 2, and 4 streams). Road access is shown with distinctions between closed roads and high clearance vehicle routes, along with roads suitable for passenger cars offering varying degrees of user comfort.

The map provides geographic reference points including contour lines at 100-foot and 500-foot intervals, Interstate and US/State Highway designations, and stream features depicted as blue lines. A reference number (2150042) is noted on the map. The document serves as a planning and operational reference tool for executing the 2026 planting project, showing the spatial layout of planting locations within the unit boundary and the surrounding infrastructure and natural features that may impact project implementation and access.
