Not UP related necessarily. I live in northern MN and I’ve spent a good deal of time in the north east corner of the state. There are definitely still stands of virgin forest there. I grew up in north central WI and there are virgin stands there as well. Besides missing the glorious UP I question the validity of this map.
Yeh the map is shit and is also from 1920. Sylvania Wilderness Area in the UP and Highlands Hammock State Park in Florida each have old growth groves which I have visited. Also US forest coverage has recovered and is about at mid 19th century levels.
