EXHIBIT E New Mexico Plot Map.pdf

The document is a geospatial plot map titled "New Mexico Plots - Fuzzed Coordinates" for a Forest Service vegetation sampling project. The map displays 224 total plot locations (59 soil plots and 165 other plots) across New Mexico, with coordinates intentionally "fuzzed" up to 1/2 mile from actual locations to protect precise land ownership details. The map covers a broad geographic area including regions near Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and extending towards the borders of Colorado, Texas, and Arizona, with plot markers color-coded and numbered throughout the state's varied terrain, including mountainous and desert landscapes.

The map is specifically related to the FY25 RMRS New Mexico Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Plots solicitation (Solicitation Number: 1240BG25Q0026), which involves field-based vegetation sampling for the Rocky Mountain Research Station. The sampling will include locating, monumenting, photographing plots, and conducting inventories of trees, shrubs, forbs, and graminoids, with potential crew work in areas with wildlife such as bears, mountain lions, and wolves. The plot map provides a visual representation of the geographic scope of the proposed vegetation research and sampling work.
