<br />In the eastern part of the District the lands are mostly irrigated under <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />private ownership, except for scattered tracts of Indian lands. The <br /> <br />Pine River Project. now proposed to complete development of the District. <br /> <br />is ldcated in the western part of the District and is bounded on the <br /> <br />east by the irrigation development of the Consolidated Utes. Its western <br /> <br />boundary and also genere.lly the boundary of theDistrict is along the <br /> <br />foot of the ~!esa Hounte.ins Range that forms the divide betlleen the Flol'ida <br /> <br />River and Pine River. Thus the irrigable lands' of'the proposed project <br /> <br />I. <br />\ . ~, <br /> <br />are mesa lands, somewhat above and flanking the valley <br />I <br /> <br />lands developed for the Indians along the river.,. The project area is in <br /> <br />. the form of a rough wedge, the top of which is 5 to 6 miles in width along <br /> <br />the north boundary of the Reservation. This wedge shaped area extends <br /> <br />south parallel with and bordering the Indian lands along the river, until <br /> <br />as the foothills of Nesa Hounteins ,,,iden out t01vards the river and the <br /> <br />proposed distributing canal loses in elevation, the. wedge is pinched to a <br /> <br />point almost at the state line. Thus the area is about 14 miles from <br /> <br />north to south. <br /> <br />The gross area of the proposed project is about 34,320 acres, of ~rhich <br /> <br />14,985 acres are irrigable or in part now insufficiently irri'gated"This <br /> <br />acreage does not include a small detached area of Indian lands in parts <br /> <br />of 4 sections, which are irrigated. <br /> <br />The exact acreages within the project cannot be determined DL~til the maxi- <br /> <br />mura obtainable elevation of the distribution canals is determined. .However, <br /> <br />/ <br />
