[FCHSM] Land Grant

[Diane Sheppard]

Hi John, 



See the link to the description and illustrations of townships, sections, etc. in the State of Michigan.

Once you have located your grandfather's property on the illustration of sections, you can then e-mail the reference librarian at the Portage  Lake District Library in Houghton and ask about maps. 

See the link below:

It's possible that the librarian would be willing to send you a copy of a map or give you the title of a land atlas book which might be available at a library such as the Detroit Public Library.

Hello, 

I recently acquired the file of my great-grandfather's land grant in   
Houghton County. The legal land description tells me the Section,   
Range, Township, etc. Does anyone know how I find out where this is on   
a map of Houghton County? Is there such a map on the internet? 
Thank for any help.
