[pct-l] Logging on the PCT

[shon mcganty]

I don't see it.  Do you mean the white areas?  The white areas on the USGS maps is land with no commercially harvestable timber, which includes meadows and gullys of vine maple, or slopes with soil too poor for trees ect.  I've never seen a white area on a USGS map to represent logging, since logged land is re-planted, will grow up into a new forest.  Right?  Or am I wrong?

Here are 2 land cover images showing the scale of some of the logging 
along the PCT. Both are in Washington.

The first and most dramatic is section I9. You can clearly see the large 
checkerboard pattern of deforestation covering the entire map:

The second image shows large swaths of clear cuts from section H12:

All of your postholer topo maps show these 'enlightening' details.
