Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to STATE OF MICHIGAN on 10 March 1964, out of the Washington Ofc. The land is T35N R13W Section 31 NW — 35N13W31NW on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Exchange-State Taylor Act, and the row cites June 28, 1934 (48 Stat. 1269). Accession 1235420 covers five location rows. They share the 196.6500 acres the source reports. It is flagged for a subsurface reservation. Its description carries the source note SUBJECT TO MINERAL RESERVATION AND RIGHTS.

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 1964, 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: 196.6500 acres is the whole patent, spread across five location rows.
