A NATIONAL PLAN FOE AMERICAN FORESTRY 



TABLE 3. Disposal plan for remaining public domain 



TO BE ADDED TO NATIONAL FORESTS (CLASS 1) 1 



TO BE RESERVED IN NATIONAL-FOREST STATUS (CLASS 2) 



TO BE PLACED IN OTHER CONTROL AREAS (CLASS 3) 



i The location of class 1 land is shown graphically on a map included in the section of this report "The 

 National Forests." 



J The area of brush-watershed land included in class 3 is large but undetermined, 

 s Exclusive of O. & C. R.R. and Coos Bay Wagon Road Grant Lands. 



This plan would place all except 2,976,480 acres of the remaining 

 public domain under some form of satisfactory public management. 

 Of the area not included within the three classes only an insignificant 

 portion is timbered. Much of it is in small tracts intermingled with 

 private holdings and under proper legislation might pass to private 

 ownership. In any event the acreage unaccounted for is not of suffi- 

 cient importance to justify great concern over its ultimate disposal.

 true requirements of each of the three classes is based on experience
