Summary

This record represents current Michigan DNR parcel 19735, with reported area 1.1 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:

Part of SW1/4 NE1/4 desc as beg 300 ft E of SW cor SW1/4 NE1/4, th N parallel with N-S 1/4 line to a pt 400 ft N of N shore line of Fox Lake, th E’ly parallel with said shore line and 400 ft distant therefrom to a point 375 ft E of said N-S 1/4 line, th S to E-W 1/4 line, th W to pt of beg

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?
