• Abstract:
  • TS IX Adams-Fay Lot
  • From (P) along Px 12'.
  • Direction N 30 W, f=55'.
  • 2588 (AF 16-1). 80-foot strip. Location: 12' along line from corner post. Taken by P.R. Gast, Nov. 6, 1924.
  • 2589 (AF 16-2). The north-south 80-foot strip. The trees were felled so that logs and slash formed separate windrows. Taken by P.R. Gast, January 1925. (HF Bulletin No. 27, fig. 18).
  • 2590 (AF 16-3a). Southern portion of the north-south 80-foot strip. Four years after cutting, seedlings of pin cherry, poplar, gray birch, red maple, and oak had come in scatteringly over much of the cutting area. Some white pine reproduction was found on moss beds and in places where slash had been burned. Taken by P.R. Gast, Nov. 1928.
  • 2590 (AF 16-3b). Taken by P.R. Gast, Nov. 1928.
  • 2591 (AF 16). The two-storied character of the stand. In places, a high density of stocking and an understory of hemlock had produced tall, slim white pines with comparatively clean boles. Taken by P.R. Gast, 1925. (HF Bulletin No. 11, fig. 6; HF Bulletin No. 27, fig. 17).
