Summary
This record represents current Michigan DNR parcel 2020319, with reported area 219.2 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:
Entire Sec. 29; ALSO Sec. 32, Gov. Lot 1, AND the N’ly 310 ft. of the W’ly ¾ of the N ½ of the S ½; ALSO Sec. 31, E ½ of the NE ¼, AND the N’ly 1,060 ft. of Gov. Lot 2, AND the N’ly 310 ft. of the NE ¼ of the SE ¼
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.
