Abstract
The five study streams lie on the east side of Lake Bellaire, Antrim County, Michigan. The streams originate in the upland areas of Section 32 of Kearney Township (T30N.-R7W.) and Section 5 of Custer Township (T29N.-R7W.) See Figure 1. The majority of this upland is owned by the Hilton Shanty Creek resort. The upland soils are mostly Kalkaska-Montcalm complex (sands) with 12 to 40% slopes. On the outwash plain, west of the M-88 highway, the soils are mostly Kalkaska-East. Lake complex (sands) with 0 to 6% slopes. Within the stream valleys soils are Tawas-Ensley complex; mostly very poorly drained woody material 16 to 51 inches thick, over sandy material. (Larson and Buchanan, 1978). See Figure 2. The streams have a steaper gradient east of M-88 and reduced gradient west of the highway before entering Lake Bellaire or the Grass River.
