About this file

This document comprises geospatial maps produced by the USDA-U.S. Forest Service, Geospatial Technology and Application Center (GTAC), depicting Christmas tree locations and associated logistics for 2026 operations in Virginia and West Virginia.

The maps identify three primary locations: a National Christmas Tree at Slab Camp (coordinates 38.566919, 79.654872) with an excavation tramming distance of 1,719 feet from the parking area; a DOT Christmas Tree (Tree 11) at Locust Springs (coordinates 38.582447, 79.633267) requiring a 2,595-foot tramming distance via FS142 and Buck Run Trail from the Locust Springs Recreation Area parking area; and a National Tree Backup (Tree 12) located at coordinates 38.582456, 79.632736. The maps indicate potential loading locations, recreation sites, and relevant trail systems including Slab Camp Run and Buck Run Trail. Topographic contours, elevation markers, road designations (Routes 28, 106, 142, 220, 250, 640), and state boundaries between Virginia and West Virginia are displayed to provide operational context for tree harvesting and extraction activities.
