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:

• PLSS section 02, MI190370N0100W0
• PLSS section 01, MI190370N0100W0

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?
