The Weyerhaeuser Company, founded in 1900 as the Weyerhaeuser Timber
Company, is one of the largest forest product companies in the world.

Timber cruising is a process for measuring forest stands to determine
number and species of trees, average tree size and volume, and timber
quality.

by timber cruisers for the Weyerhaeuser Company in southwestern Klamath
County. The records cover townships 37S through 41S and ranges 6E through
10E. The notes include the numbers and types of trees on the measured
tract (ponderosa pine and other species); condition of the trees; areas
logged; and hand-drawn maps depicting lake boundaries, rocks, burned
areas, and other landscape features. Cruisers' names are given on the
notes.
Notes for several cruises in northern California (T48N R3W, Mt. Diablo
Meridian) are also included.
