T44N, R26W, part of section 27.
Goals include balancing the habitat conditions for a variety of wildlife, providing recreational opportunities through hunting and dispersed use, providing a continuous and even supply of forest products. Additional goals include balancing the aspen covertype in each age class over a 50-year rotation, and maintaining large wetland complexes to provide valuable wildlife habitat, and headwaters and waterbody protection. Considerations for species diversity, retention, coarse woody debris, and BMPs will be included in harvest plans.
Soils include gently rolling to flat well-drained sands that are moderately-productive aspen stands, and occasional fine sandy loams that host northern hardwood types. The lowlands are typically deep mucks under conifer swamps and bogs.
The area is predominately state-owned land, with one 40-acre private, non-industrial in-holding. The Bill Rollo Grouse Enhanced Management Site (GEMS) now contains most of the compartment. The area hosts a variety of hunters; ATV, snowmobile, and hiking enthusiasts, as well as firewood collectors.
The West Branch of the Escanaba River borders this Compartment.
Old conservation and logging camp remnants such as clearings and building foundations are found in adjacent compartments (51, 53, 56).
Adjacent to (and now absorbed into) GEMS area (Compartment 51).
The compartment contains the West Branch of the Escanaba River. The West Branch of the Escanaba River is designated a Type 1 trout stream greater than 50’ width. For all other riparian areas Best Management Practices should be followed to reduce erosion into waterbodies.
Compartment 052 is found within the Ralph Ground Moraine Management Area; on Ground Moraines in northern Dickinson and southern Marquette Counties. The dominant Natural Communities are mesic northern forest, poor conifer swamps, and dry mesic northern forest. Major forest cover types include Aspen, Northern Hardwoods, and Mixed Lowland Conifers. Almost every cover type and associated species can be found within the management area including several deer wintering complexes. This management area provides some of the finest grouse and woodcock hunting in the Midwest and this is a wildlife management priority that will continue. Wildlife management issues in the management area are: early successional forest conditions (associated with alder, riparian zones, or forested wetlands); mast (hard and soft); habitat fragmentation; mature forest (upland deciduous, especially aspen and mixed forest with little understory); course woody debris; and deer wintering complexes.
The following have been identified as featured species for Ralph Ground Moraine Management Area: American woodcock, black bear, Northern goshawk, ruffed grouse, and whitetail deer.
Sections 27, T44N R26W, Marquette CountyNo sand/gravel pits are located in the area and sand and gravel potential within the compartment may be limited. Abandoned iron mines are located six miles to the northeast. This area has not been previously leased and metallic

Additional Compartment Information:
mineral potential appears to be low at this time. There is no economic oil and gas production in the UP.
Vehicle access is good from County Road 438 which is maintained year-round, and seasonal from Kate's Grade heading north.
None at this time.
The area hosts a variety of hunters; ATV, snowmobile, and hiking enthusiasts, as well as firewood collectors. Access to the Compartment is good from County Road 438 and Kate's Grade.
Fire protection is within the Gwinn Management Unit of fire protection. Dominated by aspen, hardwood, and conifer lowlands, this is not a very fire-prone landscape. Access to the Compartment is good from County Road 438 and Kate's Grade.

A coldwater lake has temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions that allow naturally-reproduced or stocked trout populations and those of other coldwater fish species to persist from year to year. Suitable conditions for coldwater fishes may occur in Michigan lakes if they are relatively deep, have substantial groundwater inflows, or are located in colder (northern) areas of the state. Such lakes are established by Director's action and designated as trout resources by Fisheries Order 200.
Cold Water LakeSCA
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.
Cold Water Stream
SCA
A transitional area between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in which the terrestrial ecosystem influences the aquatic ecosystem and vice-versa. Because of the unique conditions adjacent to lakes, streams and open water wetlands, riparian areas harbor a high diversity of plants and wildlife. Riparian communities are ecologically and socially significant in their effects on water quality and quantity, as well as aesthetics, habitat, bank stability, timber production, and their contribution to overall biodiversity.
