Fig. 13. — This generalized map of forest, cut-over land, and woodland was prepared 

 in cooperation with the Forest Service. The flsines given in the table are merely tenta- 

 tive. The e.stimates for the States in the originally forested eastern portion of the 

 United States, except for several States in which forest surveys have been made, are 

 based largely on deductions from the statistics of the 1920 census. Of the 467 million 

 acres of forest and cut-over land in the United States alwut one-half is in the South, 

 one-eighth in the Northeastern States, one-eighth in the Lake States, and nearly one- 

 quarter in the West, mostly in the Rocky Mountain and North Pacific Regions. How- 

 ever, over half of the 137 million acre.s of virgin saw timber is in the West.
