Excerpt from Forest Resources of Southern Montana A survey of Montana's forests was begun in 1934 as a part of a Nation-wide inventory of the forest resources. Interrupted by the war, this survey was resumed in 1946 and is now about 90 percent complete. Present plans contemplate finishing the survey in 1949 to give Montana the first real measure of its forest wealth. Statistics for 23 counties in Northern and Central Montana and for that portion of the state west of the Continental Divide have been published previously.

Excerpt from Forest Resources of Western Montana Changes in the economic importance of species and closer utilization with respect to tree size have both contributed to higher current estimates. Prior to World War II, timber utilization rested heavily on white pine and ponderosa pine. Other species were far less valuable. As a consequence, even the early estimates of white pine volume were very realistic and those of ponderosa pine were not much in error. In contrast, the inventory of other species was at best very rough. Today there are 61 billion board feet of Douglas-fir, western larch, Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine, and the minor species. This amounts to more than twice the volume of these species reported earlier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
