A word on accuracy
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Tenstrike may sit some distance off the line on screen. If the land is near Wilton, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
How land is described here
Minnesota is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Tenstrike reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Funkley odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Tenstrike for any title or survey request.
