“Timberlands”, a category which includes most of the forests in 
Montana, are segregated for tax purposes. Out of the 56 counties 
of the State, 12 report this type of property to the State board of 
equalization. The ratios of forests to the total tax base range from 
less than 0.5 percent in Carbon County and in Lewis and Clark County 
to 21 percent in Lincoln County (table 80). Eight counties are in a 
group whose ratios are less than 10 percent, and four counties fall 
into the 10-to-21-percent ratio group. The ratios of forests to rural 
real estate range from less than 0.5 percent in Carbon County to 
62 percent in Lincoln County. The distribution of counties in ratio 
groups is as follows:
