Attachment 28_Map Rail Ridge 2026 Planting Unit_58.pdf

This document is a map and planning specification for a timber planting project on the Malheur National Forest. The Rail Ridge Planting 2026 project encompasses 26 planting units across the specified area in Township 14 South, Range 28 East. Unit 58, the primary focus shown on the detailed map, covers 73 acres and requires planting 195 trees per acre (TPA) at an average spacing of 15 feet by 15 feet. The species mix specified for Unit 58 is 80% Ponderosa Pine (PIPO) and 20% Douglas-fir (PSME).

The map displays the planting unit boundaries marked with green lines, stream categories (uncategorized, Category 1, 2, and 4 streams shown in various blue line styles), and road infrastructure color-coded by accessibility level—ranging from closed roads to high-clearance vehicle routes to roads suitable for passenger cars with varying degrees of user comfort. Contour lines at 100-foot and 500-foot intervals are included for terrain reference. The document provides spatial context through Interstate highways, US/State highways, and rail features to orient the planting area for implementation planning purposes.
