 Misc. Pub. 1293, 19 p., 105 maps. 



This volume is the second of an Atlas with large maps showing 

 the natural distribution or range of the native tree species of 

 continental United States. The 82 species maps include 32 of trees, 

 6 of shrubs rarely reaching tree size, and 44 more of common 

 shrubs. Range is shown by lines and dots on a map of Alaska, 

 scale 1:10,000,000. Also, 23 general maps summarize environ- 

 mental factors and supply background information on geography, 

 geology, climate, and vegetation. These basic maps indicate the 

 broad conditions under which each species grows wild and may 

 serve as a preliminary forest atlas of the 49th State.
