Paul-- The original article that presented these maps (Greeley, W.B. 1925. The Relation of Geography to Timber Supply. Economic Geography 1(1):1-14.) was written by William B. Greeley, who was Chief of the USDA Forest Service at the time. As with any article lead-written by a U.S. Government employee on official time (and I'm sure that was the case here), our work is in the public domain (no copyright). Hence, all of the papers I write during my tenure with the Forest Service are public domain, and can be easily and freely distributed.

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.
