Summary

This record represents current Michigan DNR parcel 20022, with reported area 21.06 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:

Lot 3 ex N1/2 N1/2 and ex 1/2 acres school site in SE cor desc as comm at SE cor Lot 3, th W 208 ft, th N 104 ft, th E 208 ft, th S to beg. (SW1/4 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.

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?
