Summary

This record represents current Michigan DNR parcel 1114349, with reported area 4.57 acres and division/department Wildlife Division. It is a state parcel-geometry and management record, not a county tax card or deed.

The held source gives this legal-description text:

South 2 rods of the West 40 acres of Government Lot 3, ANDa parcel described as commencing at the SE corner of the NW 1/4 of SW 1/4 of said section, th. East along the South line of Government Lot 3, (being erroneously recorded in Liber 157, Page 96, Charlevoix County Records, as the South line of the NW 1/4 of the SE 1/4), a distance of 800 feet, for the point of beginning of this description, th. continuing East along said South line a distance of 520.0 feet, th. North 333.0 feet to a point, th. West a distance of 520.0 feet parallel to the South line of said Government Lot 3, th. South 333.0 feet to the point of begining, EXCEPT the South 2 rods.

The source fields are preserved as data evidence. A DNR division label can support a cautious statement about the agency’s mapped management assignment; it does not establish the full chain of title or identify a private propertyholder.

Survey joins

The parcel intersects these federal PLSS section records:

It also intersects these state quarter-quarter records:

Where a held GLO township/range sheet covers the same geometry, it is linked as well. These are spatial joins for navigation, not proof that the historical plat depicts the modern parcel boundary.

Open questions

  • What deed, patent, legislative transfer, or state acquisition record supports the present DNR status?
  • Does a county parcel/tax record provide a current owner or exemption history?
  • Which historical owner or land use occupied this legal description before state acquisition?
