Northeast detail frame of PLSS sections, quarter-quarter survey cells, and held historic GLO patent locations; not an administrative quarter or current ownership map.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A tall, vertically oriented cadastral survey map shows a gridded land area beside blue water, with section numbers, smaller survey cells, irregular shorelines, and several inland water bodies. Pale tan, cream, and gray areas distinguish mapped land features, while a small legend and alternating black-and-white scale bar appear near the lower left. Fine boundary lines and labels cover the map, with a heading and subtitle above it.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
Catalogued as an atlas plate and a Northeast detail of a land-survey atlas. The record states that it was drawn from archive data and incorporates PLSS, General Land Office, Michigan Geographic Framework, OpenStreetMap, and USGS data.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Very small section labels, coordinate markings, and fine legend text are not fully legible.
