Excerpt from South Dakota's Timber Resources In terms of geography and forests, east meets west in South Dakota in a rather dramatic way. The Prairie Plains in the east gradually give way to the grasslands of the Great Plains in the west as elevation increases by some feet between the Minne sota border and Rapid City. The forests in the Plains regions are primarily associated with water - reservoirs, lakes, and the dominating Missouri River and its major tributaries such as the Belle Fourche, Cheyenne, and Big White. Collectively these forests make up only 10 percent of the total forest land in the State and consist primarily of tree species associated with the eastern hardwood forests - elm, ash, basswood, and so forth. In the far western portion of the State and spilling over into northeastern Wyoming are the Black Hills. This isolated mountainous island of granite, limestone, and meta morphic rock thrust up through the western plains is a national geologic landmark treasured for its beauty and history. It is roughly 100 miles long and 60 miles wide and rises from the surrounding plains to an elevation of feet at the top of Harney Peak. The forests in the Black Hills and at higher elevations west of the 103d meridian to the southeast and north of the Hills are typically western, consisting principally of ponderosa pine. About 90 percent of the forest land in South Dakota occurs west of the 103d meridian, and most of it is in the Black Hills. Three counties, Pennington, Lawrence, and Custer, account for most of the State's forest area, which totals roughly 1 7 million acres.

Excerpt from The Rocky Mountain Timber Situation, 1970 In addressing the current timber supply situation, some would continue to dramatize it as a timber famine, while others would not. Thus, the basic question has not changed since the last timber supply assessment, but the basis for concern is vastly different. Where before the balance of cut and growth was the major issue, now the availability of forest land for timber production and having to Operate within budgetary and environmental constraints have taken on primary importance. This report is not a duplication of the 1970 National Timber Review.1 Rather, it presents highlights of the forest situation in the Rocky Mountain Forest Survey Sec tion (idaho, Montana, western South Dakota, Wyoming, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah). It describes the resource, the timber supply outlook, and some of the problems associated with increasing the timber output from this region.

Excerpt from Lumber Recovery From Old-Growth Coast Douglas-Fir The volume of commercial Coast Douglas-fir sawtimber is estimated to be in excess of 394 billion board feet. About 10 billion board feet of Coast Douglas fir is harvested annually. This is about 55 percent of the total softwood lumber production in the United States. There is an urgent need for better methods of appraising the quality of this important timber resource. Estimates of the recovery that can be obtained from Coast Douglas-fir sawtimber are needed by forest land managers, timber buyers, and timber processors for efficient utilization of the resource for lumber, veneer, pulp, or other products.

Excerpt from History of Dakota Territory, And, South Dakota, Its History and Its People, Vol. 3 Probably no subject is of greater historic interest to the people of the state than the development of the natural resources. South Dakota did not start out on the perilous but prosperous voyage of statehood with either a bankrupt treasury or a dearth of resources that could be made useful. Three very important resources shone above all others when the young state began its career, namely: (1) The mines; (2) the plant products, and (3) the live stock industry. All three had grown wonderfully under the sunny skies of territorial existence, but had in reality only well commenced. In addition and only of secondary importance, were the following additional means of resource (1) Lignite and coal beds; (2) artesian water supply; (3) cement formations; (4) building stone; (5) fer tile soil; (6) available moisture for crops; (7) abundant timber in the extreme western part and along many streams; (8) extension of the corn growing area; (9) introduction of drouth resistant plants; (10) irrigation and intensive farm ing; (11) improvement of live stock; (12) diversified farming and rotation of crops (13) extension of the fruit growing area; (14) oil and natural gas deposits; (15) available water power; (16) the intelligent, mixed and industrious popula tion; (17) healthful climate; (18) large amount of annual sunshine; (19) wild game for food, furs, pelts, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
