This book classifies the land of Forest County, Wisconsin, grouping areas by problems and policy suggestions within the broader context of land use planning across the US. The author discusses the concepts of land use classification and the importance of defining clear standards, considering multiple factors including minimum living standards, school and road services, farm organization, and patterns of settlement. It then outlines a three-fold system of classifying land according to agricultural problems and policies, and non-agricultural uses such as forestry or recreation. The author illustrates the practical application of this system to Forest County, breaking down the region into classes and subclasses, and presenting data on the relative size of land use classes, density of settlement, and agricultural land use. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of classifying land for planning and implementing appropriate policies to address specific problems and promote sustainable land use.
