This collection contains handwritten transcriptions of the original handwritten survey notes that divided the remaining public domain of the state into individual township parcels, each averaging approximately 36 square miles. Show the measurements taken by the surveyors and documents the physical and cultural features of Michigan before much settlement took place. Index maps are placed at the beginning of each township and range within the volumes. These records were transferred to the Archives of Michigan by the Real Estate Division of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in 1989.
