Compartment Review Presentation
Grayling Forest Management Unit
Compartment 72244
Entry Year 2017
Acreage: 1,873
County Crawford
Management Area: Camp Grayling
Revision Date: 2015-07-29
Stand Examiner: Matthew Foster
Legal Description:
T28N R03W Sections 10,11, and 12.
Identified Planning Goals:
To provide an area that allows for National Guard training while maintaining forest health, productivity, sustainability,
species diversification, and structural diversity throughout the compartment.
Soil and topography:
Soils generally consist of Blue Lake and Rubicon sands. Topography is gently rolling with a few areas of moderate slope.
Ownership Patterns, Development, and Land Use in and Around the Compartment:
There is 40 acres of private property in the SWSW of section 10. The remainder of section 10 is under the 10 year
management agreement with the Michigan National Guard. Lands in section 11 & 12 are a mix of military board lands or
state land leased to the Michigan National Guard under L-1479 allowing long term military use of the property.
Unique Natural Features:
Stand 412 contains old apple orchard and prairie moonwort along with multiple firing points.
Archeological, Historical, and Cultural Features:
Five archaeological sites are located within this compartment, in stands 7, 25, 34, and 118. These sites have been
previously determined to not be significant and do not need to be avoided. We have no concerns.
Special Management Designations or Considerations:
Military training.
Watershed and Fisheries Considerations:
There is a small Kettle hole in section 12 (stand 230). Bull Frog Lake and part of Barnes Lake found on Range 40.
Wildlife Habitat Considerations:
Some old well sites or firing points could be used as maintained openings.
Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions
Numerous active and abandoned gas wells and pipelines throughout the compartment. Surface sediments consist of icecontact outwash and glacial outwash sand and gravel and postglacial alluvium. The glacial drift thickness varies between
600 and 1,000 feet. Beneath the glacial drift is the Coldwater Shale. The Coldwater does not have an economic use. The
nearest gravel pit may be in Section 4 to the northwest and potential is good on the uplands. The western two-thirds of the
compartment is leased and developed for the Antrim Shale.
Vehicle Access:
Vehicle access is good off Sherman and Calker roads. Calker road is not maintained after White road. There are many
trail roads throughout and some are well maintained even throughout the winter by oil and gas operations. This area also
sees heavy military vehicle use creating numerous roads. No roads were identified for closure.
Survey Needs:
None.
Recreational Facilities and Opportunities:
Hunting opportunities are high due to good access and multiple age and multiple cover types for wildlife.
Fire Protection:
Wildfire is a concern here due to heavy military operations on the air to ground impact range (range 40). Large wildfire
potential is minimal due to hardwood cover types. Access is good into this area due to military road systems. There is a

* This is a list of SCA's for this compartment along with a 1/4 mile buffer surrounding the compartment. Refer to the Special
Conservation Area Map for locations of the below listed Conservation Areas.
Conservation
Area
Type
SCA
Cold Water
Stream
A coldwater stream has temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions that allow naturally-reproduced or
stocked trout populations and those of other coldwater fish species (e.g., slimy sculpin) to persist from
year to year. Coldwater streams in Michigan typically provide these conditions due to substantial
contributions of groundwater to their stream flows. Such streams are established by Director's action and
designated as trout resources by Fisheries Order 210.
SCA
Research and
Military Areas
These areas provide facilities and lands specifically dedicated for research, or other purposes. They
include the 5,847 acre Forest Fire Experiment Station, the 12,000 acre Houghton Lake Wildlife Research
Area, the Beaver Islands Archipelago Wildlife Research Area (that includes most of Garden Island, all of
High and Hog Islands, all state owned land on Beaver, South Fox and North Fox Islands), the Cusino
Wildlife Research Area, the 3,000 acre Hunt Creek Fisheries Research Station, the 125 acre Wyman
Nursery, and over 144,000 acres of Military Lands.
HCVA
Natural Rivers
There are two Natural Rivers datasets which are derived from spatial buffers set from an established and
approved distance from the river centerlines. The Natural Rivers Zoning District is a 400 foot buffer for
most Natural Rivers. The Vegetative Buffer ranges from 25 to 100 feet. To view specific Zoning Districts
and Vegetative Buffers for each Natural River see the table located on the I:\Documentation\GDSE data
folder.

Appears to be stump sprout origin(multi-stemed) hard maple
stand. Regen is mostly beech and ironwood. Hardwood quality is
not great, beach bark disease is found on the beach, heavy on
some trees. Quality is not good enough to warrant thinning, hold
for diversity. Decision was made to allow beech to die out of this
stand, not enough to warrant a salvage operation.

comment states "FTP for burn submitted #C72-578- FTP
cancelled in 2/4/08 as it did not make burn priority list in 2008 so
would not be completed- will rely on natural regeneration." Stand
is now an aspen and red maple mix. Five small retention islands
were left scattered throughout the stand. Stand is more aspen
dominated at the north end and more red maple is found at the
south end. Witch hazel and hawthorn is found throughout.
