CLEVELAND NATIONAL FOREST. 



The Cleveland National Forest is in four parts, each covering 

 an important watershed. The principal function of the Cleve- 

 land Forest is the conservation of water and the prevention of^ 

 erosion and silting. The Forest headquarters is at San Diego. 



The Forest includes 813.635 acres, of which 547.292 are Gov- 

 ernment land. The stand of timber, which is confined to the 

 highest elevations, amounts to 327.300.000 feet. The forage 

 supports 3,500 head of sheep and goats and 4,000 head of cattle 

 and horses. 



The Cleveland abounds in excellent camping places, 

 especially in the San Jacinto region, reached from Hemet or 

 from Banning, and in the Trabuco Canyon and the Laguna 

 Mountains. Roads are numerous.
