Attachment 27_Map Rail Ridge 2026 Planting Unit_54.pdf

This document is a project map for the Rail Ridge Planting 2026 initiative on the Malheur National Forest. Unit 54 encompasses 21 acres with a target Tree Planting Area (TPA) of 195 trees and an average spacing of 15 by 15 feet. The species mix consists of Ponderosa Pine (PIPO) at 50 percent, Douglas-fir (PSME) at 40 percent, and Larch (LAOC) at 10 percent.

The map displays the planting unit boundary delineated in green, with individual tree planting locations marked throughout the area. The surrounding infrastructure includes road access routes color-coded by suitability level—from closed roads to high-clearance vehicle routes to passenger car suitable roads—and stream categories ranging from uncategorized to Category 4. Topographic contours at 100-foot and 500-foot intervals provide elevation reference. The unit is located in Township 14 South, Range 28 East, within a larger network of 26 Rail Ridge planting units across the Malheur National Forest.
