Soil and Topography: Lupton muck, rifle peat, Newton sand, Ottawa sand and Rubicon sand. The area is mostly level with a high water table. Ownership Patterns, Development, and Land Use in and Around the Compartment: This compartment is highly fragmented and much of the acreage is isolated by private property or I-75, making assess difficult.

Stands 17 and 94 were created for the construction of I-75. Spring creek and LaPorte creek flow through the central and eastern portions of the compartment. They eventually flow into the Tittabawassee River Wildlife Habitat Considerations: Provide and maintain habitat for a variety of game and non game species. Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions: None found. Vehicle Access: Vehicle access is poor throughout the compartment due to access issues and the high water table. Survey Needs: Stands within Sections 16, 17 and 21 may need survey work if access is found to treat these stands. Recreational Facilities and Opportunities: Recreational opportunities include hunting and fishing.

2 Fire Protection: This compartment has high urban interface issues compounded by access issues. Fire protection may be difficult in some areas. On a good note, many areas in and around the compartment have a very high water table.
