Attachment_4_-_Project_Area_Map.pdf

This document is a geographic reference map of Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge located in Roswell, New Mexico, issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The map delineates the refuge's boundaries and internal management divisions across approximately 40 square miles of project area. The refuge is divided into three tracts: the North Tract comprising 19.3 square miles, the Middle Tract comprising 17.7 square miles, and the South Tract comprising 1.9 square miles. The map identifies various areas of interest and management focus, including firebreak repair areas of interest (AOIs), Rio Hondo AOIs, Berm repair AOIs, Oxbow Trail repair AOIs, Bitter Creek, management units, and water control structures. The refuge's location is shown relative to Roswell, New Mexico, with Highway 70 providing regional context. The map was created using coordinate projections (NAD 1983 UTM Zone 14N) and incorporates data from multiple sources including ESRI, CGIAR, USGS, TomTom, Garmin, and FAO. This map serves as a foundational geographic reference document for the refuge's operational and management activities.
