Paul:
Thanks, I should add that I have not been able to find any such maps
specific to Virginia.
In the Midwest, it is interesting that they don't have any dots for the
Boundary Waters, Porcupine Mountains, or Sylvania on the 'today' map.
Also, the 'today' map shows Upper Michigan as part of Wisconsin. Thats
normal, people seldom get facts straight about the Midwest. One time I
applied for a grant from NASA to use satellite to analyze forests in
northern Minnesota. I was told I could not send the proposal to the
Great Lakes Region, because MN was in the Great Plains Region. The
proposal was later returned unfunded because, according to NASA, there
aren't any forests in the Great Plains.

The maps showing 1620, 1850, 1920 and 1992 are at this website:

You can right click on the image with your mouse, and then left
click on copy image, and then move it into another file--I moved
it onto a powerpoint slide, but you should be able to put it in a
word file as well.

Does anyone have or know of a map of Virginia showing changes
in old-growth coverage over a time period? The National
Forest Council had a national map showing the extent of
"virgin" forest in 1620, 1850, 1920, and the present. Virginia
Forest Watch needs a map like that on Virginia for a slide
show project on mountain treasure areas. Mary D.
