Message Board Post:
Thank you for answering my question in detail. Since my post, I have been looking on the
web on how to read a plat map. The website I went to didn't explain that the 160 acre
quarters were further divided into 4 quarters of 40 acres each. Your post has made sense
of the land description for me.
I have one question though. If I have it right, he owned, in essence, the Northeast
quarter of the Northeast quarter?
(North half of the East half of the Northeast quarter, 40 acres)
I am reading that his land would be bordering Hwy 41 to the west in Section 11 of Otter
Creek twp? I am going by the 1900 plat map at the site. On this map, a F.J. 222 and a G.M.
145 own this quarter in 1900. Or are we talking about the same thing?
Thanks. Carla
