Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to STATE OF MICHIGAN on 13 June 1974, out of the Washington Ofc. The land is T39N R9W Section 2 LOT 2 — 39N9W2 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 61-74-0140 has this one location row, and the source reports 64.3200 acres for it. 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 1974, 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.

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?
