This attractive portfolio atlas was issued as a companion volume housing 39 folding maps related to the 21st Annual Report Forest Reserves text volume (not present). The maps detail forested areas in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Wyoming and Indian Territory, including Mt. Rainier, Yosemite and the Seattle region. Each map uses bright coloring to indicate forest density as well as non-forested areas. The maps incorporate other USGS data as well including towns, villages, roads, railroads, rivers, and elevation. See image for the complete list of maps. Housed in a brown cloth portfolio with gilt title on the spine.
