Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to STATE OF MICHIGAN on 13 September 1956, out of the Washington Ofc. The land is T37N R11W Section 24 LOT 3 — 37N11W24 on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Exchange-FS General Ex Act, and the row cites March 20, 1922 (42 Stat. 465). Accession 1164322 covers four location rows. They share the 158.2000 acres the source reports. It is flagged for a subsurface reservation. Its description carries the source note SUBJECT TO MINERAL RESERVATION.
Ownership evidence and limits
A patent records the moment the United States parted with the land, and stops there. Whatever happened afterwards sits in the county deed index rather than here. The grantee is the spelling a clerk wrote in 1956, and it stays a spelling until a separate identity record carries the link to a person or an organisation. A shared surname is not that record.
Do not carry the acreage onto this description either: 158.2000 acres is the whole patent, spread across four location rows.

Open questions
- Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
- Can a tract book or a field note place this description inside a quarter-quarter rather than the whole section?
