Excerpt from Report on the Progress of the State Geological Survey of Michigan Presented, 1871: Presented to the State Geological Board, Nov. 22, 1870

Chapter five is devoted to an exposition of the system of survey of the public lands. The inaccuracies incident to the system are noticed - both those which are inherent and those which are casual. The more important provisions of the State laws in reference to surveys are cited and a brief account is given of the origin and character of the old territorial patents, whose lines are unconformable with those of the United States surveys.

The sixth chapter consists of a table of areas of the several townships of the State, from the records of the Land Othee at Lansing. These are arranged by counties and towns. Appended is a table of areas of the islands of the State, with an indica tion of the counties to which thev severally belong.
