This federal government document provides resource mowing maps and data for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District, under the Mississippi Valley Division. It serves as a detailed operational reference for mowing and maintenance contracts across three project areas: Lake Ouachita Field Office (CEMVK-ODM-OO), DeGray Lake Field Office (CEMVK-ODM-OD), and Lake Greeson Field Office (CEMVK-ODM-OG). The document outlines precise acreage, linear footage, and spatial dimensions for dozens of specific recreational and operational sites within each lake's jurisdiction. Additionally, it defines the scope of work by categorizing maintenance activities into three distinct types: standard mowing and trimming, bushhogging, and landscaping. To guide contractors, the file details the required frequency for each task. Mowing and trimming activities generally run on a weekly schedule during a six-month duration, while bushhogging tasks are scheduled three times per year, with select food plots requiring bushhogging once per year. This data summary establishes the technical specifications and workload expectations necessary for bidding and executing vegetation management contracts at these federal water resource projects.

This document consists of a series of GIS mapping and location plots detailing trash collection infrastructure across several recreational and campground areas. Prepared in late February 2026, the maps serve as a spatial reference for federal or local contractor services managing waste disposal, facility maintenance, and park operations. The maps cover several key geographic sectors, including the Dam Area, Stephens Park, Avery, Spillway, Brady Mountain, Crystal Springs, Denby Point (Group Areas A and B), Tompkins Bend, and Little Fir. Each plot features a standardized scale and legend identifying critical operational points of interest, such as campsite locations, buildings, 4-bay dumpsters, individual trash cans, boat ramps, swim beaches, dump stations, restrooms, and fish cleaning stations. These detailed spatial layouts pinpoint the exact placement of waste receptacles relative to campground sites and utility buildings (including washhouses and comfort stations). The maps are designed to support waste management, grounds maintenance, and facility service contracts by outlining the precise distribution and scope of public sanitation infrastructure across these federal parklands.
