Summary

This record represents current Michigan DNR parcel 19479, with reported area 0.23 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:

Beg. at a point 33 ft. South of North line and 1183 ft East of West line of W frl 1/2 of SE1/4 of Sec. 11 (being in Lot 2 of said Section) running East parallel with North line 100 ft, South parallel with West line 100 ft, West parallel with North line 100 ft, North parallel with said West line to place of beg. Lots 1 to 4 incl. Block 2 of Citizen’s Realty Company Plat.

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?
