The proposal would withdraw approximately 5,000 public acres from settlement, sale, location and entry under the general land laws, subject to existing rights, and reserve the area for military purposes.
The BLM news release does not include a map or link to a NEPA project but a notice in the Federal Register gives the townships, ranges and sections which can be found in the PLSS layer of the ArcGIS Viewer.
Most of the project area is in the Coyote Lake HMA, or, if you prefer, the Coyote Lake Allotment, with a small portion in 15-Mile Community.
The Air Force would place two transmitters in Christmas Valley according to an article by Oregon Public Broadcasting. The facility on BLM land, about 150 miles to the southeast, would contain two receivers.
The project area covers 16 sections, for a total of 10,240 acres, so the withdrawn lands would be somewhere inside the blue box in the following map.
Comments will be accepted through December 29.
