A reservoir and water transmission ditch is proposed on Sweetwater Creek <br />about 1 mile east of Indian Lake. <br /> <br />Area S. 10,140 acres. The Patterson Creek basin, including Blair Lake, Shadow <br />Lake, Jet Lake, and Blair Mountain, was studied for inclusion in the proposed addition. <br />This area was not considered suitable because it contains 11'% miles of four-wheel-drive <br />trails which have been well established over the years, and continued access is needed <br />in this area for wildlife harvest. The Blair Mountain Road will be constructed along <br />Blair Mountain to provide an important transportation link between the Coffee Pot Road <br />and the New Castle-Buford Road for administration and public use. <br /> <br />Area T, 11,980 acres. The areas below the proposed boundary in Ute Creek and <br />Papoose Creek contain commercial timber lands and managed range allotments with all <br />accompanying structures. Lower Marvine Creek has established four-wheel-drive trails <br />and extensive commercial timber lands. East Marvine Creek below the proposed bound- <br />ary is used heavily by motorized equipment and will be developed for a deferred rota- <br />tion range management system with man-made improvements. Wild Cow Park is <br />covered by existing oil and gas leases. <br /> <br />Areas of Primitive Area Recommended for Declassification <br /> <br />The Forest Service determined that six small sections of the Primitive Area, de- <br />signated as Areas 1 thru 6 on Map B, on Page 14, not be included in the Wilderness. <br />Doing so places the boundary lines on more definable and recognizable locat.ions. <br /> <br />2:~ <br />
