You may purchase topographical maps for Alpena County in our office. The maps show contour lines and symbols that represent such features as streets, buildings, streams, swamps and woods. There are twenty two maps covering Alpena County.

Soil Sampling
Information about soil testing is available at the Conservation District office. Whether it is a wildlife food plot, a farm field, or Mom's garden, we can help you make it grow. Soil sample bags are available at the office, and for a small fee, we can send them in for you. Don't understand how to read soil test results? Let one of our staff assist you with all of your soil testing needs.

Equipment Rental
The District realized a local need for certain items to assist producers and landowners in planting crops and trees in a more efficient and cost effective way. The District houses items which are available for rent throughout the planting season. A lime spreader was purchased with District funds to be used by producers. The cost is based on a per ton scale which includes delivery. A No-Till grain drill is also available to plant crops in a more efficient and environmentally friendly manner. The drill is rated on a per acre scale which also includes the cost of delivery. For those interested in planting a large quantity of trees, the District has made a tree planter available. The planter is used behind any tractor with a three-point hitch
