Woodville Kirby Siecke T-1 connection Radio connection 3G cellular network connection

 Predominant vegetation: Pine Forest, Deciduous Forest, Pasture, Grassland

Pine Plantation (Established) Pine Regeneration Pine/Deciduous Regeneration  Commercial value  Fuel sources

Elevation (feet) Value High : Low : 3.28  Predominately flat/rolling elevation change  Neches river basins/ riparian zone- areas of most elevation change

 High wildfire ignition density  Arson

Surface Fire Canopy Fire  High occurrence of crown fires
