Historical Drain Easements

Many drain easements in Gladwin County were granted in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Drain Office has recently started recording these historical drain easements with the Gladwin County Register of Deeds Office to help more people become aware that the easements exist. See (here) for an FAQ in the historical easement recording.
