time eliminating 1886 acres from the
latter forest. No eliminations wers
made from the old Medicine Bow.
The lands excluded from the newly
named Medicine Bow forest are To-
Gated along the exterior boundaries or
the forest and embrace rolling foot
hills and level flats. The largest and
most important eliminations cover
lands in the western and extreme
southwestern parts Of the forest. along
the North Platte river; also tier OF
sections along the north end OF the
western boundary. and three sections
In the extreme southeastern corner.
A few smaller and less importan:
eliminated areas are situated along
