DNR Land and Mineral Ownership compiled and mapped at quarter-quarter section level, based on parcel data in MDNR's Land Ownership Tracking System (LOTS) . Includes type of ownership (mineral rights, surface rights, and fee) and acreage for each type, by quarter-quarter section.
Regional land management and planning, at quarter-quarter section level; not intended for parcel-based use.
Lease Classification files are in an ArcMap shapefile format, with one shapefile for the entire state.
See DWNLD_DATE field in statewide_lease_class.dbf file
Not intended for parcel-based evaluation and management. Lease classification recommendations are compiled from parcels to the quarter-quarter section level. Private Claims and parcels located within the City of Detroit and/or Saint Clair Flats may not be included.
Accuracy equivalent to the accuracy of LOTS.
Unknown
This data set reflects all parcels in LOTS that have a lease classification recommendation and Town/Range/Section/Qtr-Qtr geography associated to them. Not all state-owned parcels have a classification recommendation. In general, the following parcels may not be reflected in this data set, because they do not have associated geography in LOTS: 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.
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.
Daily download of several tables from the Land Ownership Tracking System (LOTS) tables. Parcel and lease classification information from LOTS is processed to create a table of lease classification recommendations compiled to quarter-quarter section. Lease classification table is joined with DNR quarter-quarter section file, and processed in ArcMap to create a Lease Classification shapefile.
