Summary

This record represents current Michigan DNR parcel 19495, with reported area 0.32 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 819 ft S of N line and 1104.5 ft E of W line of SWfrl1/4 of SW1/4 Sec. 14 (being in what is otherwise known as Lot 2 said Sec.) South 21d41’5“ E alg line to shore line of Lake Michigan, sd line constitutes W’ly line of lots intended hereby to be conveyed. Beg also at pt first desc, E 21d48’5“ N alg line 140 ft, S 21d48’5“ E to shore line of Lake Michigan, SW’ly alg shore to pt where shore line intersects W’ly line of Lots known as Lots 28-29-30-31-32 Blk 5, Citizen’s Realty Co. 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?
