National Forest Examiners land classification reports of the Tongass and Chugach National Forests comprise the first nine volumes of this collection. The land classifications date from approximately 1920 through 1928. Three deal with the Chugach National Forest (volumes 1-3), the remainder with the Tongass National Forest (volumes 4-9). Each report contains a written description of the area plus hand-drawn maps of the geography and vegetation. A few also include black and white photographs of the terrain and/or the project staff. Homestead Entry Surveys (volumes 10-11) contain individual plats of U.S. Surveys of homesteads in the Tongass National Forest, 1903-1958. Volume 11 also has several loose reports tucked inside the front cover for individual homestead claims. Status and Settlement Atlases are for the Tongass National Forest only, date from 1920. They contain marked maps showing land status. Most of the maps are blue print or blue line. Three (volumes 12, 13, and 17) have lists inserted in the front that note the settlement applications (usually of homesteads, but also including other users) and note the status of the applications. “U [Unit] Plans.” Each seems to be for one geographic unit and have a specific focus. Volumes 19-21 relate to recreation and the Glacier Highway in the Juneau unit, 1935-1958. Volumes 22-23 are status and sales sheets relating to the Cameron Zellerbach PulpTimber Sale Areas in the early 1930s. Miscellaneous: Three unclassified atlases (volumes 24-26) consist of a three volume set of maps relating to the Tongass, but their significance is unclear.
