LIVINGSTON AND BIG TIMBEK QUADRANGLES. 



The Absaroka portion of the Yellowstone Forest Reserve, in Montana, is repre- 

 sented in part on the Livingston and Big Timber atlas sheets of the topographic 

 map of the United States published by the United States Geological Survey. The 

 Livingston quadrangle contains 30 per cent and ±he Big Timber quadrangle 13.5 

 per cent of the area discussed. 



The present examination was made primarily to classify the lands and estimate 

 the timber within the boundaries of the reserve, but the land classification and 

 timber estimates have been made for tracts beyond the reserve boundaries in order 

 to include all of the Livingston and Big Timber quadrangles, and the following gen- 

 eral description of the different classes of lands has been added to the report. The 

 accounts of sylvicultural conditions in the reserve apply equally to the forested 

 areas in these quadrangles beyond its boundaries.
