No. 1—text symbol, 1—Stands from which the more desirable 
species and best trees have been cut. There are 118,247 acres of this 
kind of timber mapped, with an average of 1,000 and a maximum of 
2,000 board feet per acre. 
No. 2—text symbol, 2—Stands yielding from 2,000 to 5,000 board 
feet per acre, with an average of 3,750 board feet. These are generally 
very fair stands of desirable species where light cullings have been made. 
Our map shows 12,584 acres in this division. 
No. 3—text symbol, 8—Stands which will run from 5,000 to 10,000 
board feet per acre; probably typical of the original stands, with an aver- 
age of 7,500 board feet. No culling, or at most very light culling has 
taken place. The area is only 368 acres. 
No. 4—text symbol, 4—Stands which are exceptionally good, where 
the trees are large and are generally on good agricultural soil, with a 
yield of over 10,000 board feet per acre. Only 18 acres were classed as 
of this type. 
Total of the upland types, 157,290 acres. 
For the bottomland types the same designations as to yield are used 
as are applied to uplands except that each is followed by the letter B.

The foregoing are the straight bottomland symbols, but when strictly 
bottomland type and hardwoods are mixed with cypress we have the fol-

Total of the bottomlands types, 17,746 acres. 
The strictly bottomland type as distinguished from the upland type 
is characterized by a greater number of species. These are pin, white, 
swamp white, red, and bur oaks, elm, sweet gum, hickory, locust, black 
walnut, and tulip-tree. Where cypress is found there is usually tupelo, 
red gum, and soft maple, with some willow and cottonwood. 
The composition of the upland type is well shown by the two stand- 
tables on pages 33 and 34, compiled from strip surveys representing 117.18 
acres at Alto Pass, and 65.14 near Jonesboro. The cruising was done by 
a three-man party, one man running the line with a staff compass and 
tallying, and two others, known as caliper men or cruisers, each taking 
a strip 33 feet in width on one side of the chain, calling out the species,
