Forest Road 2630 beginning from its junction with Forest Road 2630-404 and 2630-405 to its intersection with Forest Road 2230.

The area encircled by a boundary line beginning at the junction of Forest Road 2630 and Forest Road 2630-450, thence in a northeasterly direction along Forest Road 2630-450 (including Forest Road 2630-450), to its intersection with private land near Bridge Creek, thence along the private property/Forest boundary in a clockwise direction to the northeast corner of Section 26 in Township 12-South, Range 21-East, thence following the section line south to the southeast corner of Section 35 in Township 12-South, Range 21-East, thence west along the section line to the southwest corner of Section 35 in Township 12-South, Range 21-East, thence south along the section line to its intersection with Forest Road 2630, thence west along Forest Road 2630 to the beginning.
