The State of Michigan began maintaining a file of all plats in the state in 1873. A copy of all plats prepared after that date were filed with the State. Beginning in 1909 and completed in 1911, a copy of all plats on file with the 83 county Register of Deeds and recorded prior to 1873 were duplicated and the duplicate copies incorporated into the State’s files. This system includes all plats in the State of Michigan beginning with the plats created under the 1821 territorial act for recording town plats.

STATE OWNERSHIP INFORMATION
State land ownership information is derived weekly from the Michigan Department of Natural Reources (MDNR) Real Estate Information System (REIS).
Parcel information in REIS is compiled to the quarter-quarter section level, resulting in eight ownership categories. Mapping in this manner will NOT accurately reflect parcel boundaries, however it does identify the presence of state-owned property WITHIN a quarter-quarter section. Multiple parcels with varying types of ownership within a quarter-quarter section result in the combined ownership categories.
COMPLETENESS and QUALITY
The quality and completeness of REIS data is unknown. It is suggested that this data be combined with a second source, such as plat maps, to further identify ownership.
