HARRIS TOWNSHIP · SECTION 18, T38N R4E · 60 PARCELS UNDER THE MAIN FILED STRING
Reynolds Park does not belong to the wave that surrounds it, and the evidence is a house: the listing record dates a Reynolds Park house on Ashland Street to 1967 — a full generation before the Harris wave's height, on the range-line section (Section 18, T38N R4E) in the township's northeast, the plat laid along the northern farm roads when the ground around it was still farms. Its name is a family's or a place's, not a marketer's — "Reynolds Park Subdivision," in the county file's fullest spelling — and the file carries it under no fewer than five filed variants (Subdiv, Sub Div, Sub-Division, and the plain name), the spelling drift of a plat old enough to have been re-entered by many hands. The banked count of 60 is the main string's; the variants carry more, and the discrepancy is flagged in this section's closures file rather than silently resolved. Its lots, at a median of 0.46 acre, are a size larger than the wave's norm, and its present state is utterly finished: every parcel under every variant improved in the single-family code.
An older plat raises an older question — whether Reynolds Park began as a pre-war or immediate postwar cut of the Reynolds ground, which would make it a Harris Township counterpart to the postwar Clay stratum across the CDP. The record reached cannot answer it. Named gap — Reynolds Park's proprietor and recording date, the oldest open question in this register: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books), GAP-NBH-5's settler named for this plat.
