The genuinely smallest: the register's tail, gathered — with its evidence stated

SIXTEEN TO TWENTY-THREE PARCELS EACH · GATHERED UNDER THE CHECKLIST'S OWN RULE

Below Streamwood, the register's plats fall to a size the checklist itself allows to gather — each under twenty-five parcels, each carried here with the parcel file's own measure so the gathering is evidence, not neglect. Toll View (23 parcels, Clay Township) names the Toll Road itself, the one plat in the CDP named for the interstate corridor; its lots run at a median of 0.44 acre, all improved. The Berkshires (23, Clay) carries the borrowed-England vocabulary west of the line, one of its parcels in a non-residential code. Fountain Blue (22, Harris, the northern tier) is filed as a single subdivision at a median of 0.36 acre, all improved. Greenfield Manor (20, Harris, the southeast ground) is in sections from Section One despite its size — Lot 52 stands in its legal strings, a lot numbering far beyond its in-boundary parcel count, a reminder that a plat's paper can reach past the Census line even when its parcels do not. West Gate Cove (19, Clay) carries the register's smallest lots, a median of 0.27 acre. Pine Meadows (19, Harris, the northern tier) stands all-improved at a median of 0.35 acre. Gumwood Crossing (18, Clay) is dated by its own string — new-plat instrument NP 10908 of 8 December 2006, as the banked 2000s article printed — at the register's smallest median lot, 0.20 acre, townhouse measure on the Gumwood corridor. Adams Acres (17, Harris, the far southeast) is in its fourth section in the banked register, at the tail's largest median lot, 0.53 acre, one parcel still vacant. Ponderosa Lake Estates (16, Clay, the southwest ground) is the tail's smallest and its most western, in sections from Sec Two at a median of 0.54 acre.

For each of these, proprietor and recording date stand as they stand for the rank above — unreached on the open web, Gumwood Crossing's instrument date excepted. Named gap — the proprietors and recording dates of Toll View, The Berkshires, Fountain Blue, Greenfield Manor, West Gate Cove, Pine Meadows, Adams Acres and Ponderosa Lake Estates: settler, in every case, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books; Clay Township books for Toll View, The Berkshires, West Gate Cove, Gumwood Crossing and Ponderosa Lake Estates), GAP-NBH-5's settler named for each.
