Parcel description
Sec. 9. (a) A person who wishes to have a parcel of land classified
as native forest land or as a forest plantation must have the parcel
described by a registered land surveyor. The parcel must be
described by metes and bounds or other professionally accepted
practices and must locate the parcel with reference to an established
corner. In addition, the description must identify the parcel by
section, township, range, and county references. The surveyor shall
prepare plats of the parcel in ink, and the surveyor shall prepare the
plats on the scale, and in the number, prescribed by the department
of natural resources.
(b) The registered land surveyor may use an aerial photograph in
order to prepare a description of the parcel. However, the surveyor's
description must be accurate and it must meet the requirements
specified in subsection (a) of this section. If an aerial photograph is
used, that fact shall be noted on the application referred to in section
11 of this chapter.
