This attractive portfolio atlas was issued as a companion volume housing eight folding maps related to the 20th Annual Report Forest Reserves text volume (not present). Of particular interest is the massive Map of Washington Showing Classification of Lands (61.8 x 41.1") that is printed on four joined sheets. The map derives its bright color from nine different classifications of land based on the forest density. Other details include towns, villages, roads, railroads, watershed, topography and coastal detail. The large Jefferson Forest Reserve occupies the northern portion of the Olympic Peninsula and the Rainier Forest Reserve surrounds Mt. Rainier. The full list of maps includes:
