Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to MICHIGAN DEPT OF CONSERVATION on 15 January 1958, out of the Washington Ofc. The land is T39N R9W Section 7 LOT 3 — 39N9W7 on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Exchange-Natl Forest (lieu), and the row cites March 2, 1899 (30 Stat. 993). Accession 1178709 covers 20 location rows. They share the 1637.3700 acres the source reports. It is flagged for a subsurface reservation. Its description carries the source note ALL MINERALS RESERVED TO US SUBJECT TO RIGHTS AND R-O-W.

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 1958, 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: 1637.3700 acres is the whole patent, spread across 20 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?
