The Atlanta Field Office is located in Montmorency County, 2 miles north of Atlanta - the Elk Capital of Michigan. Satellite field offices are also located in Onaway and Alpena, where employees are available to fight wildfires, maintain recreational facilities, and manage various activities on state lands.
This Unit has a wide variety of land types, from lowland swamps to jack pine plains to rolling hardwood hills. Aspen types make up almost 25% of the cover, as shown in the graph to the left. Lowland types, both coniferous and deciduous, comprise another third.
In addition, numerous non-game species occur, including the Kirtland's Warbler in the Clear Lake KW Management Area. Pine Martins are becoming a more regular sight, and in the winter of 2004-05, the first wolf siting in the Lower Peninsula was confirmed.
Numerous recreational opportunities are available on the Atlanta Unit. Fourteen rustic campgrounds and hundreds of miles of trails, both motorized and non-motorized, provide an outdoor experience in all seasons.
Many inland lakes and rivers are located in this area of the state, offering a wide variety of excellent fishing, boating, and swimming opportunities. There are also many miles of Lake Huron shoreline which provide a multitude of similar and unique opportunities.
Compartment Review Packets
All State Forest Compartment Review maps and documents are drafts to
be used for general planning purposes. Links to these documents will be removed after the review occurs.
Planning is occurring in compartments within this unit, view current compartment locations by clicking Atlanta's Locator Map.
NOTE: We are using maps with imagery as a backdrop. These maps are excellent at showing the features of the land - but they make very large files that are slow to download on some computers.
