Battan Forest Maps and R1s

This version of a planting map appears to be work in progress as compartments and their numbers are added to the hand drawn map of the Balmacan section of the Forest which includes the area names of Rinudin, Caiplaich and School Woods. The compartment numbers jump around wildly with No 101 to 103 in Caiplaich then 201 – 204 in Rinudin.
The R1 planting record attached as a PDF shows the 1952 planting starting in Comp 101 – 102 with some in 201 -204 and later years a mix of all areas and numbers.
The cover of the R1 shows that Reelig and Battan Forests were amalgamated in 1956 and then Boblainy was added in 196, the whole area then may have gone under the name of Boblainy. Can anyone confirm?
