Summary
This record represents current Michigan DNR parcel 19890, with reported area 40.0 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:
SW1/4 SE1/4
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.
