The smallest of the register, plat by plat: Fountain Blue, Greenfield Manor, Pine Meadows, Adams Acres — and the minor subdivisions beneath them

22–17 parcels each · and the 502-parcel minor-subdivision stratum

Fountain Blue — 22 parcels; Greenfield Manor — 20; Pine Meadows — 19; Adams Acres — 17, in its fourth section: the register's floor. Adams Acres' four sections on seventeen parcels state the stratum's arithmetic — a family plat sectioning a farm frontage a few lots at a time across years, the small end of the same process Prairie Lane ran at four hundred. For each of the four: the county file's count (and, for Adams Acres, its sections) is the whole open record reached; no builder beyond the name the plat itself carries, no date, no street record. Settler for each: the Recorder's plat books. The Ranch's wave-era namesakes among the small plats, named in the banked register without counts, stand as the banked file left them — names seen in the file, sized only there.

Beneath the register, the stratum the floor cannot itemize: 502 parcels inside the boundary carry a "minor subdivision" in their legal descriptions (county file) — two to ten lots cut from a family's frontage, named for the family or the road, the wave's foam in the banked file's own phrase. The branch checklist's rule is honored by stating why they are gathered here rather than entered one by one: a roster article may gather only the smallest plats, and these are the smallest — most carry no name beyond a family's, none carries a builder, plan or press record in any source reached, and the parcel file itself reaches them only in aggregate. Their settler is the same plat-book pass, which would name each minor subdivision's proprietor and date from its instrument. They are printed at aggregate size because aggregate is their record's size, and the count — 502 parcels, one in every twenty-four inside the line — is itself a neighborhood fact: a twentieth of Granger was platted by its own farm families, two to ten lots at a time.
