The White Pine Group (shown on the map as White-Red-Jack Pine I 

 lies mostly in the southern two thirds of the State on well to excessively 

 drained sandy soils. (Soil Management Groups 2. 5, 10. 12, 13, and 14.) 



The Spruce-Fir Group is found at the higher elevations on shallow and 

 stony upland soils and also in the very poorly drained (swampy) areas. 

 These forest types occur mostly on Soil Management Groups 1. 6. and 8-11.

The Aspen-Birch Group consists of a temporary vegetation usually fol- 

 lowing fires or clear-cutting. The soils on which these temporary forest 

 types occur are mostly stony, well-drained and moderately well-drained soils, 

 shown as Soil Management Groups 10, 29, and 30.
