Visit California's national forests!
This is a 1932 U.S. Forest Service map of California national forests. The national forests, including Shasta National Forest, Stanislas National Forest, and Sequoia National Forest, are shaded green and labeled with big block letters. Red highlights the state's highways and other major roads. A wonderful pictorial cartouche appears just below the title. Photographs focusing on land use within the forests, including fire control, grazing, watershed protection, and recreation, superimposed over a stunning photograph of trees.Publication History and Census
