Notice of Filing of Plat of an Island;

Minnesota

1. The plat of the survey of an island

in Little Kandiyohi Lake, Township 118

North, Range 34 West, Fifth Principal

Meridian, Minnesota, accepted on

November 29, 2001, will be officially

filed in Eastern States, Springfield,

Virginia at 7:30 a.m., on February 7,

2002. The tract shown below describes

the island omitted from the original

survey.

Fifth Principal Meridian, Minnesota,

T. 118 N. R. 34 W.,

Tract No. 37.

2. Tract No. 37 is firm land rising 20

ft. above the ordinary high water mark.

The soil has evolved from glacial till

parent material and is similar to the soil

found on the adjacent uplands.

Numerous stones were located along the

entire shore line at the ordinary high

water mark and at the highest points of

the island. Tree species consist of ash,

oak, ranging in size from 3 to 18 inches

120+ years. The ground cover consists

of hazel, willow, cattails and native

grasses along the entire shore line.

3. The present water level of the lake

compares favorably with that of the lake

at the time of the original survey;

therefore, the elevation and upland

character of the island along with the

depth and width of the lake between the

exist in 1858, the year Minnesota was

admitted to the Union. The original

survey in 1857 did not note the

presence of this island.

6. Except for valid existing rights, this

island will not be subject to application,

petition, location or selection under any

public law until February 7, 2002.

7. Interested parties protesting the
