The three counties included in this study are grouped about the Wisconsin-Michigan state line in the north-central part of Wisconsin (Fig. 1). The region is typically glaciated terrain with rolling morainal and dissected drift topography. Lakes bogs, and wet lowlands are characteristic surface features. The soil is for the most part loose sand and gravel, or sand and gravel mixed with clay. The latter constitutes the better loam and clay soils of the region, and it is this soil which civilized man, when he came, found almost universally covered by northern hardwood forest.
