About

Michigan Department of Natural Resources mineral leases and state-managed lands via the DNRLOTSParcelsOPENDATA data services hosted on the agency data services. The user-supplied research-snapshot endpoint at the agency host is dead; the live MI mineral and parcel content was found via the agency host Hub, which surfaces this data service as the authoritative DNR LOTS (Land Ownership Tracking System) Open Data hosted FS. Six curated layers from the 10-layer service: Parcels (~132,684 polygons, DNR-tracked ownership; 5 ParcelType values Acreage 126,980 / Platted 4,827 / Great Lakes Bottom Lands 78 / Private Claims 90 / St.Clair Flats 709); Managed Lands (~135,938 polygons under DNR management with 12 DivisionDepartment values led by Forest Resources Division 103,754 / Parks and Recreation Division 18,278 / Wildlife Division 12,208 / Office of Land Administration 1,055 + Mackinac Island Park Commission 34); Current Rights (~135,412 with 5 CurrentRights values: Surface and Mineral 118,084 / Surface 14,600 / Mineral 370 / Other Rights 471 / None 1,887); Leases (~5,508 active with 5 LeaseType values: Oil and Gas 5,097 / Metallic Minerals 231 / Nonmetallic Minerals 53 / Gas Storage 66 / Surface Use Lease 61; LeaseStatus A=active 5,275 / E=expired 233); Lease Nominations (~25 pending); Conservation Easements (~1,279 polygons with a single CurrentRight value 'Development Rights Easement'). Section 0 surprises: the research-snapshot endpoint is dead (server returns 'Service DEQ/Mineral_Lease/data services not started'); live data lives on the public data tenant at the agency data services via Hub discovery. The Leases layer has empty geometry, since leases are linked to parcels via ParID, not polygons; the handler exposes searchMineralLeases as tabular only and rejects bbox/near. LeaseType, LeaseCode, and ParcelStatus all have trailing whitespace upstream ('Oil and Gas ' / 'NM ' / 'A '), so the handler trims on read. LeaseStatus is a single-character code (A/E); the handler accepts both the code and the human label (active/expired). Counties are Title Case (Crawford / Schoolcraft / Marquette / Luce), 83 distinct.
