    MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES – www.michigan.gov/dnr Wildlife Division FGDC Geospatial Metadata for 2019 Deer Management Unit (or area or zone) polygons “current” (rev. 2019 Aug. 28) By M. Strong, DNR Wildlife Division, Lansing, MI. Description: This file is a shorter summary of longer FGDC geospatial data metadata with important comments, constraints, and qualifiers to accompany geographic information system files (ESRI format shapefile or layer). See the longer more-complete documentation of this data set’s metadata, approximates and follows the FGDC and NBII Metadata Standards at primary required levels, where applicable and appropriate; additional details added if needed. However, these metadata below should include all the mandatory FGDC compliant elements for this data set (a single layer). Some text may be duplicated, but will be improved with next update of these metadata. Data summary/abstract for "deer_management_unit_polygons_current": Description summary: This is the most current white-tailed deer (species Odocoileus virgininus) related management unit, area, or zone polygons; these deer management units (DMUs), special management areas or zones, and other specifically defined polygons are tools DNR staff, particularly DNR Wildlife Division staff, use to manage, represent and depict the extent of deer populations, hunting quotas, open/closed DMUs for applying for drawings or hunting licenses, and other related geospatial activities regarding white-tailed deer. It is your responsibility as a user of these data, to ensure, if you are using these data to determine, plan or do recreational activities, that you personally investigate all regulations or rules related to those activities (acts, place, etc.) before doing those activities or face legal repercussions; if questions, contact DNR offices (http:///www.michigan.gov/dnr ).

MDOT employs more than 20 bridge inspectors who have specialized training and work in teams of two. They evaluate bridges and assign condition ratings using a rating system established by the federal government. What's included in the bridge condition report? The most recent report shows the condition scores and sufficiency ratings for all highway bridges longer than 20 feet, as of May 18, 2017. Stats at a Glance: This report lists 4478 bridges, of which 228 are structurally deficient. This data is current as of May 18, 2017. NOT covered in this report: • Structures 20 feet or less in length. MDOT inspects these shorter structures, but they are not included in this report. • The Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. This bridge is privately owned and operated. • The Mackinac, International and Blue Water bridges are inspected annually, exceeding federal requirements.

  • Iron County, Michigan
    PRESENTS IRON COUNTY, MICHIGAN The Western Terminus of the Menominee Iron Range – Part 1 Compiled by William John Cummings 2012 Map of Iron County, Michigan, With Townships IRON COUNTY, MICHIGAN Iron County was established in September, 1885, having been severed from Marquette County’s Ely Township, established in 1871, and a small portion along the Brule River was taken from Menominee County. The southwest portion of Marquette County was originally Ely Township, but when Baraga County was formed in 1875, the land now forming Iron County was placed in the new Township of Republic. In 1882 Crystal Falls Township and Iron River Township were formed after petitions were made to the Marquette County Board of Supervisors for representation. Pat E. Dunn, of Crystal Falls, and Daniel J. Lay, of Iron River Township, took their respective seats on the Marquette County Board of Supervisors on May 29, 1882. Economic development was primarily based on the mining and logging industries and was enriched by the diverse ethnic mixture of its people. When Iron County was formed five townships were created: Iron River, Crystal Falls, Felch, Bates and Mastodon. Crystal Falls serves as the county seat. In 1890, the population of Iron County was 4,432. The county has a total area of 1,211.02 square miles of which 1,166.36 square miles is land and 44,67 square miles is water. TOWNSHIPS • Atkinson Township, established in October, 1892, from Iron River Township; lands returned to Iron River Township when Atkinson Township was dissolved in 1906 • Bates Township,
