Atlas Township sits in the southeast corner of Genesee County, about fifty-five minutes from Royal Oak, with the Village of Goodrich at its center and the unincorporated crossroads of Kipp Corners along M-15 to the south. The township shares its southern line with Groveland Township in Oakland County and its eastern line with Hadley Township in Lapeer County, the same hilly, lake-and-woodlot country that runs across all three counties without paying attention to the lines on the map. The kettle lakes scattered through the township are part of the same chain of hills and lakes that gives Groveland Township its lakes just across the Oakland County line.

That means the ground behaves like its neighbors just across the county line: old pasture goes to autumn olive and hawthorn once the grazing stops, oak woods fill in underneath with cherry and honeysuckle, and hedgerows between the hay fields thicken with box elder a little more every year. Hunting parcels here need the same trail and shooting-lane work as the ground around Groveland and Hadley, and the two-tracks that were open a few years ago close up with saplings just as fast. Old fence lines around the lakes themselves need the same work as the hedgerows between the hay fields, since a lake lot here grows the same wall of brush any Southeast Michigan lake does the moment nobody is cutting it back. We grind it all into a chip layer where it stands, so a hunting parcel is left with no brush pile along the trail.

Where we work in Atlas Township (Goodrich): the Village of Goodrich, Atlas Township, Kipp Corners and the M-15, Perry, Hegel and Kipp road corridors.

Common Jobs in Atlas Township (Goodrich)

  • Hunting trails, shooting lanes and food-plot ground, cleared in late summer so it settles and is quiet before the season.
  • Old pasture and paddock reclamation from autumn olive and hawthorn, with fence lines opened for new board or wire and the work scheduled around turnout.
  • Hedgerows between hay fields ground back to the survey line so the ground can be worked or mowed all the way to the edge again.
  • Wooded building sites off M-15 and the Kipp Corners area, cleared to the footprint, drive and septic area with the mature oaks left standing around the house.
  • Trail cutting and brush-outs on the hillier parcels toward the Oakland and Lapeer county lines, opened wide enough for a side-by-side.

Questions We Hear in Goodrich

When should hunting-land work around Goodrich be done?

Late summer into early fall for trails, lanes and food plots, the same window we use in Groveland and Hadley Township next door, so the ground is settled and quiet by the time the season opens.

Do you handle the hillier ground in Atlas Township?

Yes. Slopes are walked and planned on site so the machine always works from stable ground, and the chip layer left behind holds the hill the same way it does across the line in Oakland and Lapeer counties. Wet lowland between the hills gets a frozen-ground date the same way it would anywhere else in our area.
