Description

Pictorial map of American forests and the lumber industry, prepared by William Longyear to promote the Weyerhaeuser Company.

The map differentiates forest type by color, including showing large sections of the country as "De-Forested Areas".

Notes around the map chart the development of the Weyerhaeuser Company. Symbols scattered around the map show the company's lumber infrastructure. The key elaborates the following sites: logging camps, sawmills, by-product plants, remanufacturing plants, pulp & paper mills, pole storage yards, pole treating plants, and distributing yards.

An inset of the Pacific Northwest shows Weyerhaeuser's extensive operations in the region.

Condition Description

Magazine map. Two sheets joined as one on verso.
