  15. Problems/Issues • Data is random in nature and limited to property boundaries but most likely the best data available • Was the surveyor good at tree identification? • Surveyors tend to choose a tree with good longevity for corners. • Data skewed to the 1750/60’s due to the number of grants during that time

  16. Conclusions/Insights • Area was most likely a mature forest • Non-native species begin to show up near population centers (cities)
