Excerpt from Fragmentation, Absentee Ownership, and Turnover of Forest Land in Northern Lower Michigan Figure 3. County plat books provided base maps for this study. Tax rolls were checked for the years 1946, 1954, and 1962. Three vellum over lays, one for each year, were attached to a base map. Differences in parcel size and property owner between the plat book and tax rolls were sketched on the overlays. Owner's place of resi dence was also indi'cated. Forest acreages for contiguous tracts were determined from aerial photos and noted on base maps. Then, all of this information was coded on sample section summary sheets. Figure 4. The size of this contiguous forest block is 680 acres, of which 640 acres are within and 40 acres are contiguous to the sample section. This forest block is composed of three contigu ous forest tracts: A, 160 acres; B, 480 acres; and C, 40 acres.
