Town location in USA
Quote from Dominiqa on June 20, 2017, 7:53 amHi you!
I need a location for the story and my knowledge of geography of US is limited to Google Maps, so you can say it's nonexistent.
I'm looking for a town/city in the USA where it can be expanded by a cut of the forest and I mean an old and big forest. It's very important to the plot. It can be anywhere, Google sugest Braswell, Georiga but these woods just dosn't look promising. I'd be grateful for the help.

Petersburg Alaska - in the Tongass National Forest. (pop ~3K, 5.4 Million acres of old growth forest).
On East Coast, I would suggest Millinocket, Maine, near Baxter State Park (pop 4.5K, ~24K acres old growth forests)
Not sure if any of those help or not. There are old growth forests throughout the US, but I tend to think Oregon, Washington (Colville National Forest or Olympic National Park), Alaska and Maine when it comes to logging. YMMV.
Good luck!

The town of Elmira barely counts as a town, and many of the homes are quite far apart. Sandpoint is just south and is a decent tourist town, and is the closest source for many items - including the local wal-mart.
