: From these vague descriptions, can anyone define the species properly so they
: could be looked up in the Forest Service literature?

Check under the scientific genus name of Populus. You are bound to find at least half a dozen species listed. Populus trichocarpa and Populus tremloides are too of the more common species used industrialy.

The scientific or latin names are used to eliminate confusion stemming from common names. As you saw from the previous post poplar means different species to different folks.
