Summary
This record represents current Michigan DNR parcel 17475, with reported area 41.4 acres and division/department Wildlife Division. It is a state parcel-geometry and management record, not a county tax card or deed.
Legal description and current classification
The held source gives this legal-description text:
Lot 1 (SW1/4 NW1/4-N1/2 SW1/4)
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.
