SPECIES MAPS AND RANGES 
The natural distribution of each species of minor eastern hard- 
woods in this volume is shown on a map (Species Maps 1-166) and is 
stated below in words concisely for reference. Ranges have been 
compiled from these maps for this volume and for the forthcoming 
revision of the Forest Service Check List. Thus, the summaries here 
replace those of the 1953 Check List. 
Ranges are given in outline form, as in previous check lists. Most 
place names have been abbreviated. The States and Canadian 
provinces along the corners and irregular limits of distribution have 
been listed, generally from northeast to northwest, southwest, and 
southeast. However, ranges of species confined to the Coastal Plain 
of southeastern United States are cited from northeast to southeast 
and southwest. In many cases, the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of 
Mexico form natural boundaries on one side. Portions of States, 
especially large ones, along the corners and limits have been 
mentioned where the distribution within those States is not 
widespread. 
Distribution is more or less continuous in a line connecting the 
States named. Isolated stations, which are shown on the maps, are 
not noted. Counties or other geographical divisions have been cited 
in a few instances, mostly trees of local or restricted occurrence. : 
Entire ranges of species also occurring outside continental United 
States have not been given in detail. For the trees extending 
southward in Vexico, the Mexican States forming the outlines have 
been cited where known. Likewise, presence is noted in the West 
Indies*and specifically in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Central 
\merica, and South America. 
The species are arranged by map number, mostly in alphabetical 
order.
