Area of Virgin Forest: 1620

One of a set of three sequential maps showing the changes in virgin forest cover in the United States (1620, 1850, and 1926).

“These maps are reproductions of original drawings found in the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture. Map C and the part of Map B east of the longitude of western Kansas are based upon statistics. Map A and the western part of map B are generalizations from less specific information.”–Paullin, p.5.
