Government Lot 4,Section 18,Township 67 South,Range 27 East,Monroe • County The Bureau of Survey and Mapping was asked to review the states interest in those lands described as the"Westerly 150 feet of the Government Lot 4,Section 18,Township 67 South,Range 27 East,containing 2 acres,more or less." Upon our review,we found no private submerged land conveyances in this area.
