Steve: Well, (pun intended) I just finished reading through the 54 page MDEQ Artesian well document. Pretty interesting reading overall. I found it particularly intriguing that West Branch was mentioned first as having a multitude of artesian wells with Rose City (just 15-20 miles away having even more. It confirms my anecdotal experience of seeing more artesian wells in West Branch than anywhere else in my travels in MI.
What I was able to find about the pond location re: section is a notation on a land appraisal completed recently indicating "CENSUS TRACT" 129, Map reference 9505. Also- the pond is at 970 ft. topographical elevation, just off Dow Rd. 1/2 mile from North of Houghton Rd (Main Street). I'm not sure that is enough info. to look it up.
thanks for all your help!
