Concerning: “CCC work programs in the Chippewa and Superior national forests were supervised by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Minnesota belonged to the sixth of nine regional divisions, headquartered in Milwaukee.”
Other research at https://www.ccclegacy.org/CCC_Camps_Minnesota.html, indicates Minnesota was in the seventh division vice sixth. Numbering of the camps supports this as well. Clarification would be appreciated. Thanks.
