Most of this compartment is low, flat and wet. There is some rolling upland terrain in the northeast part of section 17.

The state owns most of the land within the compartment boundaries, but the north half of section 7 is CFR land owned by Forest Land Group. On the Creighton Truck Trail, there is a privately-owned parcel in section 8 with two hunting camps on it that is adjacent to this compartment.

No Unique Natural Features known.

No Archeological, Historical, or Cultural Features known.

Access to most of this compartment is going to be very difficult on a commercial setting, the west ½ is mainly marshland with scattered islands of timber.

Commencement Creek is classified as non-designated non-trout water, and we have no information about any fishery that it might support.

This compartment lies with in the Seney sand lake plain sub-subsection. The western portion of the compartment is primarily marsh and wet forest land. The eastern portion of the compartment is higher ground. The pre-settlement vegetation, as recorded by General land office surveyors, show hemlock, white pine, and red maple to have been the most prevalent trees in the uplands. Sugar maple, yellow birch, and beech were present in lesser amounts. The forested portions of the lowlands were dominated by cedar, spruce, and tamarack. It appears that current species distribution is similar to pre-settlement times with a potential increase in sugar maple. Wildlife habitat goals include, maintaining the hemlock component, protecting the marsh complex, and promoting species and structural diversity within the northern hardwoods. Wildlife species of special interest potentially utilizing this compartment include moose, and marsh hawk.

Surface sediments consist of lacustrine (lake) sand and gravel and coarse-textured glacial till. There is insufficient data to determine the glacial drift thickness. The Ordovician Prairie du Chien Group subcrops below the glacial drift. The PdC could be used for stone. Gravel pits are located to the west and potential appears to be good in Section 6 & 7. There is no commercial oil and gas production in the UP.

The Creighton Truck Trail (county road P454) provides access to the upland portion of this compartment in section 17. The area north of the marsh in section 7 may be reached from the Commencement Road by crossing the Forest Land Group lands, but this route would prove difficult at best. Most of the area is virtually inaccessible by vehicles other than snowmobiles.

There are no known land survey needs at this time.

Report 7 – DEDICATED CONSERVATION AREA DETAILS

Conservation Area SCA = Special Conservation Area

HCVA = High Conservation Value Area

Year of EntryShingleton 160

2015

An area that provide some specific need for the life cycle of wildlife species, including State Wildlife Areas and Waterfowl Production Areas, deer wintering complexes in lowland conifer communities, grassland openings and savannas. Habitat areas are distinct from critical habitat designated for recovery of endangered or threatened species (such as Kirtland's warbler or piping plover areas) in that they are more general in nature, are not primarily associated with threatened or endangered species, and are not covered by species recovery plans that are developed in cooperation with Federal agencies.

65.6 74 51-80 Highly variable of species composition and density, there is a noticable amount of elm in the stand.


10.7 74 51-80


18.1 74 81-110 Variable size and stocking in the stand.


23.1 84 81-110 Has a ridge east to west, stand is potentially overstocked, spruce is fairly small considering the spruce in the surrounding area, small pole size with a significant amount of submerchantable

mixed in.

15 6113 - Lowland Maple High Density Sapling

5.0 30 1-50 Old L-type converting to forested, multiple sizes in the sapling/pole classes- age is an estimate. Other species were

present such as tamarack but are all dead.

5.7 89 1-50 Stand has multi storied look, birch being dominate with maple and cedar co-dominate, maple and spruce as an understory.

Stand is very small so this look is most likely due to edge effect.
