Formerly, forest maps were produced by the Land Survey Department of the Ministry of Lands and Forests. Some of these maps dating from 1924 to 1946 still exist and are treasured at the National Archives of Quebec.

The information they contain makes it possible to locate and characterize forest areas in certain regions of Quebec. Color codes were then assigned for each of the following classes: young forests, old forests, burned, logged, rocky, savannas, and colonization.

These historical forest maps are available in two digital formats (PDF and TIFF) . This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
