v CREATION OF FOREST RESERVES. 155 



The region is carefully mapped and described, and 

 the boundary of the reserve is drawn to include only 

 suitable reserve land. Possible agricultural areas are 

 always excluded unless they are small and isolated 



In some cases areas temporarily withdrawn from 

 entry, pending examination, contain land unsuitable 

 for forest reserves, and their withdrawal is viewed with 

 alarm by local residents. It should be remembered 

 that such withdrawals are not final, and that unsuitable 

 portions will be restored to the public domain. 



All communications relating to the creation of forest 

 reserves or to changes in their boundaries should be 

 addressed to the Forester, Forest Service, Washing- 

 ton, D. C. 



Whenever a supervisor decides that there should be a change in 

 the boundary of his reserve he should report the area recom- 

 mended, for examination by townships and sections if possible, 

 accompanying his report by an outline map. If an addition is 

 recommended, he should state exactly what area, if any, should 

 be withdrawn from settlement pending field examination.
