Attachment 43_Map Sand Planting_Unit 12.pdf

This is a project map for a sand planting unit on the Malheur National Forest scheduled for Fiscal Year 2026. Unit 12 encompasses 88 acres located in Township 18 South, Range 29 East, with a target tree planting density of 170 trees per acre using 16-foot by 16-foot spacing. The species composition specifies ponderosa pine (PIPO) at 80 percent and larch (LAOC) at 20 percent of plantings.

The map displays the unit's geographic boundaries outlined in green, indicating planting areas marked with individual tree symbols throughout the 88-acre parcel. The cartography includes relevant infrastructure and natural features such as Category 1, 2, and 4 streams (shown in blue), elevation contours at 100-foot and 500-foot intervals, and various road classifications including US/State highways, Interstate highways, major roads, arterial roads, collector roads, local roads, off-forest roads, and closed roads. The unit's location relative to surrounding sections and contour lines shows terrain elevation ranging from approximately 5,500 to 6,000 feet.
