HARRIS TOWNSHIP · THE NORTHWEST GROUND · 48 PARCELS
The Homestead packs the register's smallest total ground — 48 parcels on some 18 acres at the CDP's northwest shoulder (centroid −86.1763, 41.7594), in sections from Section One, at a median lot of 0.36 acre. Its name is the oldest word in the register's vocabulary: not a marketer's woodland or a borrowed English point, but the farm term itself, the home place — a plat named for what its ground had been. This section's state for it is finished and slightly mixed at the margin: forty-seven parcels in the single-family code and one parcel (Lot 17 of Section One) carried in the farm-residential code, a piece of the older ground's classification surviving inside the plat that replaced it. Nothing else about its making is reachable: no builder, no association, no instrument date in its strings.
Named gap — The Homestead's proprietor and recording dates: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books), GAP-NBH-5's settler named for this plat.
