Attachment_4-_Cross_Creeks_Spraying_Proposed_Areas.pdf

This document is a map depicting proposed aerial spraying areas for the 2026 fiscal year at Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The map displays the refuge boundary marked in yellow and identifies general alligatorweed focus areas shown in brown, indicating locations where dense patches of alligatorweed will be targeted for treatment. The spraying operation is part of a combined effort with Duck River, with a total acreage limit of up to 500 acres across both locations. The map includes a scale in miles and uses aerial imagery as the base layer to show the refuge's landscape and waterways. The brown-shaded patches represent the general geographic zones within which aerial spraying will be concentrated, though the exact boundaries of treatment areas may vary based on specific alligatorweed density and location during implementation.
