Description:

Abstract:
DNR Land and Mineral Ownership compiled and mapped at quarter-quarter section level, based on parcel data in Real Estate Information System (REIS). Includes type of ownership (mineral rights, surface rights, and fee) and acreage for each type, by quarter-quarter section.
Purpose: Regional land management and planning, at quarter-quarter section level; not intended for parcel-based use.
Supplemental Information:
State ownership files are in an ArcView shapefile format, with one shapefile for each county. Associated attribute table includes: number of parcels, type of ownership, and acreage of ownership for each quarter-quarter section.

Attribute Accuracy:

Attribute Accuracy Report: Accuracy equivalent to the accuracy of REIS.

Logical Consistency Report: Unknown
Completeness Report:
This data set reflects all parcels in REIS that have Town/Range/Section/Qtr-Qtr geography associated to them. In general, the following parcels may not be reflected in this data set, because they do not have associated geography in REIS: Platted parcels, Private Claims and parcels within the City of Detroit and/or Saint Clair Flats. This data set may not reflect some parcels that fall on government lots, are within Indian Reservation Land, and/or within some State Parks, due to the omission of these areas from the quarter-quarter section coverage.
Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Individual parcel information is compiled to the quarter-quarter section level. Accuracy of the quarter-quarter sections is as follows: Section lines have an accuracy of +/- 23 meters, based on horizontal accuracy of the DNR's MIRIS (Michigan Resource Inventory System) base from which the section lines were derived. Interior grid lines represent the result of a model based on survey methods used to establish the quarter/quarter grid. That is, starting from the south section line and measuring 1320 feet north for each east-west quarter/quarter line. Starting from the east section line and measuring 1320 feet west for each north-south quarter/quarter line. Corrections to non-standard sections were made to the northern most row and western most column of quarter/quarter sections.

Process Step:

Process Description:
Weekly download of several tables from the Real Estate Information System (REIS) DB2 tables. Parcel information from REIS is processed in Microsoft Access to create a table of ownership compiled to quarter-quarter section. Ownership table is joined with RMAP quarter-quarter section file, and processed in ArcView to create a State Ownership shapefile for each county.
