Excerpt from Woodland of Indian TerritoryThe lands occupied by the Five Civilized Tribes, above mentioned, contain an area of square miles of land surface, of which square miles, or nearly 62 per cent, are wooded. The accompanying map (pl. CXLII) shows the distribution of the woodland, and, as will be readily seen at a glance, the timber, although well distributed over the entire area, is most abundant and compact on the eastern side, and as a rule where the contour lines show the elevation to be greatest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
