A historical cartographic representation delineating land ownership within a specific geographical area is under examination. This record pertains to a designated locality in the state of Michigan, specifically a defined township, and reflects the legal proprietors of real estate as of the year 1960. Such a document provides a visual and textual inventory of land allocation at a particular point in time.
This type of historical artifact holds considerable value for genealogical research, property law analysis, and local history studies. It allows researchers to trace property lineage, understand historical land use patterns, and identify individuals and families who resided in the area during that era. Furthermore, it provides critical context for understanding urban and rural development trends within the township.
